Really good camera work and lighting. Impressive! Thank you.

[@RollingSolo]

Thank you very much!

[@50u0p3dr0]

Already got it, aaaaaaaannnnd, playing it. It's great to join both boxes, and using the new components in previous campaigns.

[@RollingSolo]

Awesome! That’s the best part. It spices up the previously released content as well. Like the recent full campaign I lost haha

[@atigerforever1]

With the game completed with Spreading War.., my question to you is...do you bother to combine the games to a insert,or just take from the individual boxes? Obviously for portability, if you want to take it with you for a long vacation trip,two is better than three. Add speed to a table for set up..., but, your opinion; is it worth it to do?

[@RollingSolo]

I combined them into an insert. I think I used eRaptor at the time but I believe there is probably a more cost effective solution out there. They have one though.

[@RollingSolo]

After packing expansions into the insert (I think beyond what it was meant to hold I got all of it minus an elephant mini into the box lol So pretty good!

[@atigerforever1]

Just watched your video of how you packed the Core and Shadowed expansion. Three , down to two boxes makes good sense in that now I can add another game(s) for packing games into the suitcase...like Star Wars: Imperial Assault. I use your videos for recommendations l have my liked IP's, of course.Star Wars, LotR, Batman. Adding SW:IA, with expantions into a insert for even more diverse playability. I am moving overseas, and while qoing through the residency process...,taking a suitcase of games I want to play. Marvel Champions( w all expansions and packs)LotR: Journeys, all three games, Star Realms: Frontiers, Star Wars Deck Building Game( solo variant version), Arkham Horror Core will fit into one suitcase.PLENTY of diversity for a long stay.Already have another suitcase ready for a return visit home to bring.All games, I chose to learn to play...came from watching your videos. MUCH appreciate the content. Looking to add Final Girl to round out my Series ...which will come with one of my favorite games,as it was my very first one to play, Batman TAS with all the Kickstarter goodies. Thank you again for this recommendation and to your content.

This comment got held for review so I just cleared and read it. 😜 Hope you had safe travels overseas and I'm glad you're a part of the community here. Do you serve? Those games will certainly keep you busy and having fun. Thanks so much for the kind words and hope your travels are safe!

[@cartoon80s90s]

If there is one thing FFG gets right in their LotR games, that's the character and location art and this game is not an exception. Thanks for showing the cards slowly as it makes it much easier to read them.

[@RollingSolo]

It's top tier quality. Love it :) You're welcome!

[@alexo687]

Thanks for the video. I wasn’t very excited for this expansion, but the new characters, monsters and mechanics have me thinking I may add this one to my collection soon.

[@RollingSolo]

Happy to help you decide either way Alex! See you around sir :)

[@kennethpaschall4801]

Thanks for showing this to us. Very excited to get this expansion.

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Kenneth! You bet. Hope you enjoy it. See you around :)

[@peterbelcher-truss569]

Any idea if it would all fit in the base box which has an insert?

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Peter! I’m actually looking into a solution for this game with an insert. Should have more info in the near future! :)

[@andycorbett207]

Can’t believe you didn’t mention the “Proof of Purchase” token - a very important part of any FFG game 😅

[@RollingSolo]

You would! ;p The most important part of the whole box indeed! haha

[@tecologin]

Does it come with the same armor cards as the core box? Cause if it adds 5 new characters, it needs to have at least 5 armor types, right?

[@RollingSolo]

Not sure! This video should have those cards shown at some point. :) I just merged them all together and sleeved them the other night. I’d have to check.

[@JB-ym4up]

Mines of Moria and no watcher at the gate mini(s)?

[@RollingSolo]

Doesn't appear so. That would have been a cool addition...maybe they will do this as part of a character pack?

[@tonydevilee5004]

@@RollingSolo It's because it's not the right entrance that uses in game for the watcher ;)

[@RollingSolo]

Ah, some experience based info there. ;)

[@themandolorian1547]

Thanks very clear and nice unboxing video thanks 👍

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks! Glad it helped. See you in the next video. 😄

[@tonydevilee5004]

We are at the third mission on our playtrough with Gandal and Dis , and the game is AMAZING.

[@RollingSolo]

Happy to hear you're enjoying it too! :D

[@tonydevilee5004]

@@RollingSolo Just be careful of the save game bug!

[@RollingSolo]

Tell me more!

@@RollingSolo After the first chapter , you get a brancing path , don't take the dangers in mirkwood one.. Or what's it called , it soflocks your game.

[@RollingSolo]

Good to know! I wonder when the patch will come. Hopefully soon?

[@leanderquest]

Wow, you actually have five heroes! Arwen and Balin were missing in my copy. :( Waiting for my replacements now.

[@RollingSolo]

Oh no! I hope they show up quick for you. Thanks for watching!

[@CheddahSlammer]

I didn't get this because many said It wasn't that good, that it didn't have enough character too it. They felt it was just Descent but with the Lord of the Ring Title on it. This expansion seems like it might get rid of that problem, if you had it.

[@RollingSolo]

This expansion is exactly what the game needed to bolster it but I already enjoyed the game prior. :)

[@Cekatiba]

I found the different tile layouts really annoying, making it super hard to go through all of it to find the correct one. Sometimes it felt like I was more searching for tiles and laying them out instead of playing the game. Guess that is the downside of the way the app works and things gradually unlock instead of one big setup.

[@ScottJones-ux5tt]

Would recommend putting them in stacks based on number with the A side up on all stacks. Really expedites me finding the right tiles quickly.

[@RollingSolo]

That's a great suggestion Scott!

[@Gwendor19]

Yes, journeys in middle earth

[@RollingSolo]

Been waiting for this one! ;D

[@Gwendor19]

Rolling Solo me too! I have it still in the wrapping because of mansions of madness which I am playing the expansions 😅

[@Gwendor19]

Also wondering if FFG will announce decent 3.0 this year🤓😛

[@RollingSolo]

A descent remake would be awesome. I’d be excited for that. It needs a good update. 😄👍🏼

[@tylerwatson3318]

OMG IM SO HYPED!

[@RollingSolo]

I've got it all merged into my core copy. Looking forward to playing this. Was cool to see more content coming for the game from FFG during Gen Con. Future for this one seems bright!

[@neilsmith9055]

Hi Adam, I always look forward to your content, But didn’t enjoy this format quite as much. I much prefer to hear your opinions and thoughts whilst breaking through the components, personally. Are you planning a playthrough? As I’d be keen to hear your thoughts on the game. Keep on “rolling”. 😉

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Neil! Thanks for the feedback :) I have a playthrough for the core game experience which I linked in the video description and a card in the video. Could be one I revisit in the future! Cheers!

[@sithralas2010]

currently at € 162 on amazon in germany... holy moly.

[@RollingSolo]

Yikes! :O That seems off...by a lot.

[@sithralas2010]

@@RollingSolo i am quite used to a premium on english "original" version of boardgames on german amazon, but this seems overkill, even with the 3% VAT discount currently till end 2020 in germany, guess i have to wait then :D either way, keep up the great work. stay healthy over ther in CA

[@RollingSolo]

Certainly does seem overkill haha Waiting sounds like the right call. Same to you! :)

[@mpaice]

@@sithralas2010 ouch! I would order from Miniature Market. That's what I use for Dubai.

[@MarquisDeSang]

I will never buy another Tablet game, unless they give you the .apk (the app installer, so you can store it or download it). They should give you not only the installer but the installer must contain all the DLC. We all know that in less than 5 years, you won't be able to play these games.

[@RollingSolo]

Hey MDS! Nothing wrong with your decision. It’s yours to make! Although, I will say the way people are able to hold onto devices they have purchased (phones, tablets, computers etc.). Once the app is installed, you have it for offline use until you delete or sell the device. So this fear isn't a concern these days thankfully. Thanks for watching! :)

[@MarquisDeSang]

​@@RollingSolo I broke my tablet screen and my phone screen this year -> 14 years of bad luck. I am an Android and iOS developper and I could tell you why they won't work in 5 years. But let just say that they should give you the complete app for you to backup somewhere. The app they give us are empty -> everything is in their cloud. So it's not an app either, it is a hybrid app. Some companies just give you a link to a page contaning the full app as a web page that you can download. FF has a bad reputation of abandonning their stuff : Runewars.

[@RollingSolo]

Worst! That's no good. I can understand your concern. It's up to you in the end :)

[@erikpeters7072]

If it’s in their cloud how can you access it offline?

[@MarquisDeSang]

@@erikpeters7072 NO, so if their servers are down and they will, you won't be able to get the updates and you won't be able to get the DLC you paid for.

[@stevensum2011]

Out of stock

[@RollingSolo]

Online stores should have it! Take a look around 🙂

[@MaggotKing556]

Is this the Lord of the Rings game that uses an app?

[@RollingSolo]

Yes it sure is! :D
