The Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-Taking Game - GameNight! Se12 Ep31 - How to Play and Playthrough

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Yayyyyyy so excited y'all played! It gets pretty crazy, and i hope y'all dig it!!

[@Jason-fv4rg]

I like how the mechanics fit the theme, so winning a trick is thematically like taking on more responsibility in the Fellowship quest. Pippin doesn't want any responsibility, he's just there for the adventure. Frodo has to carry the most responsibility, and Gandalf just has to swing in there to save the day at least once

[@baschwar]

I'm pretty sure you have to play out chapter 2 (33:51). If you can only win 1 or 2 tricks, you have to play all of the cards to make sure.

[@ImaginaryMdA]

I was also wondering about this.

[@meravl7615]

Pretty sure you're right. You have to play out the hand with Merry.

[@boardgamegeek]

Correct. In several of the chapters, you must play through the entire hand to ensure all characters meet their goal. -WEM

[@Accatitippi]

That hand was cut short because it was already lost, someone else took Sam's target card, so there was no point in playing it out. Edit: But you are right about the round which ends at 40:00!

[@meravl7615]

@@Accatitippi No, I think I was talking about a hand that was "won", not lost.

I'm a huge fan of The Crew and have enjoyed my time with LotR:FotR:TtG A LOT. I haven't finished all the chapters nor played the free play mode but from what I've seen they are different from eachother that I have no problem owning both at all. I will say that you state repeatedly that LotR:FotR:TtG is a lighter game than The Crew and that hasn't been my experience at all. The Crew is fantastic at introducing someone to the genre whereas LotR:FotR:TtG requires a decent knowledge of general trick taking strategy: things I'm sure you are taking for granted with your experience. Nice play through, appreciate your thoughts and enjoyed watching!

Fun one!

In the last trick when Nikki's hand was 3 Forest cards, she was guaranteed to be able to play a Forest on the last trick, so she could have just laid down her hand to show that

[@HausofKinney]

18:21 That is not a shield. It is actually the doors to the houses in the Shire ;-) I think at least :-)

[@RealPi]

Yes, it's a round door :)

[@franceski1682]

gildor is male, he's the one that carries frodo on his horse to rivendell while the ringwraiths are chasing them (they changed this to arwen in the movies)

[@paulhendricks2983]

I think that is actually Glorfindel

[@bobbyevans6595]

Gildor meets Frodo, Sam, and Pippin in the forest during their journey from Hobbiton to Buckland.

[@bryanscollick8305]

Really enjoyed the demo for this at PAXU. I will be pre-ordering it

[@RoderickEtheria]

13:20, just randomly pull a card before shuffling the one Ring into the deck.

[@dtealab]

Mooby's! Can have an Udderly Delicious Moolkshake?

[@lilmonster90210]

the time stamp on start of the game is wrong.... should be 13:10 .... otherwise i really enjoyed nikki's teach this time !

[@benstarnes21]

I may have missed something but are the ring cards not trump cards?

[@DavidM707x]

No, only the 1 Ring is a trump (and that is optional, with the player who played it choosing whether to win or not)

[@benstarnes21]

Thanks! ​@@DavidM707x

[@franchello1105]

I feel I have seen this video before. Was it reposted?

[@franchello1105]

I think is was Watch It Played.

[@GITSVermeer]

Probably just a glitch in the Matrix

[@eliatardy5964]

Sorry, im no english native speaker, i dont get why you lost chapter 2 at the end ? at around 30minsand 10 scs Thanks !

[@ChikenBird]

Lincoln needed the ring card. Nikki lead with a hill so hill was the trump suite. Nobody played a higher card than Nikki’s 7 of Hills so she won the trick and the final ring card that Lincoln needed went to her.

[@dawnbruss1514]

How can you not accomplish your goals when nikki and mike can see each others cards? Or doesn't that matter?

[@DnaNaz]

Yeah, it's silly and it matters. They try not to seem them, but they will.. It's very hard for mike not to see them.

[@mjnickoloff]

I did not look at her cards at all. Really. That would be against the spirit of the game.
