The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game | The Lost Realm | Intruders in Chetwood | Part 1

[@featsofdice6712]

This is by far (for me at least) one of the clearest tutorial/gameplay video on this game I have seen.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Wow thanks so much for the kind words!!! Glad you are enjoying the series!

[@IronShepherd5771]

Just so happen to be playing this scenario for the first time tonight. I'm not the greatest so the tips are perfect. I completely agree that this is by far the clearest and most straight forward video I've seen.

[@perplexalot1615]

I’ve played this game for years now. Almost from the beginning and this easily by far the best tutorial for newer players.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Wow that is high praise thank you so much!! LOVE THIS GAME!

[@craigambler3282]

Great play through. I am one of those who stopped playing due to number of buying options, but this as made my pull out my set and start playing again. Keep sharing

[@OneStopCoopShop]

YES!! I LOVE hearing this! I hope you get it out and have some fun deckbuilding and questing!

[@ReprezentSacramento]

I want to say thank you for the great run through! You always do such a fantastic job with your pace and explanations of the rules. This game is a modern classic and if anyone has not played it, they should absolutely pick this one up. I love this game, the deck building can get a little bit tricky but fun at the same time. (a game with in the game). Once again love all your videos and just wanted to reach out and thank you from Sacramento, CA

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Xavier, hello from Minnesota!! Thanks so much for watching and I agree wholeheartedly. The game is fantastic, especially if you are into the IP. I agree the deckbuilding can be tedious but really is part of the fun of the game. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@scredola]

You do encourage me to mix up my decks a bit. Thanks for the clarity of your actions.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It makes it fun!

[@ptitepeluche05]

We played this quest yesterday and won it on the second try. I had a Noldor deck and my boyfriend a Rohan deck. I don't know if you already tried the Noldor mechanic, it's really great and original. I hope you will do others videos on this game. We loooove it. We already played 153 times since the beginning of the year ^^

[@OneStopCoopShop]

153 times this year!!!????!!!??? That is so so so so so awesome! I am jealous! I am only at 23 now I think? But I could just keep going and going. So fun!

[@je_mere]

tks for keeping uploading videos even with all the house stress i guess u been dealing hehe, i hope like u said in the podcast can get ur dream game room. This playthrough brings back a lot of memorys of been crush over and over hahahaha but help me understand a lot of other build card games

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thank you man!! Yeah this game can be BRUTAL! But for whatever reason the thematic side of me loves it so much, and I really enjoy deckbuilding as well! Thanks for watching!

[@Igtenio]

It's nice watching a play through of this. I never enjoyed it enough to collect it, but I've always enjoyed watching well-built decks being played and seeing the various quests. Congrats on the house.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Totally get it Gary, thank you though for watching!! And here's hoping we get the house all locked up in the next couple of weeks!! Getting a house ready for showing with board games and 2 kids under 5 is a chore!

[@jasonburt8043]

Great video Colin. I have not played this game in a long time. I played quite a bit when it was released but lost touch with all of the expansions that came out. The newer quests look so interesting compared to the older ones.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Jason! Thank you for watching, and yes that is very true! The Grey Havens even has you sailing!! So cool!

[@Nikos7878]

1. It's a great tutorial video!! 2. That tip with the counters on the exhausted characters just saved me. Thanks!!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Glad it helped I only play that way now!!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

HAHAHA couldn't agree more!

[@Shenaldrac]

Dare you spend the hours, nay, days needed to talk the Little House on the Prairie family into moving to someplace less dangerous? Thrill at the challenge that is helping them get in the summer harvest before they agree to pull up roots! Chill at the opportunity to do the family's laundry for them as they pack up! Could this be the biggest challenge the heroes have ever faced?

[@NikTyrrell]

Fantastic video, buddy. I'm just starting out with the game and found this really helpful.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh awesome glad it helped! Enjoy the game it is my favorite!

[@catwizard545]

This box still remains unwrapped in my collection since i have so much LotR content to go through before i get there. You just gave me an urge to blitz through all previous content. The theme of this expansion is magical =) You plan on doing more LotR LCG videos?

[@8bitRambler]

I’m loving watching these, but I’ve got a question. When you use cards from many different sets, how do you remember what came from where when packing away……or am I just being stupid??

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh I use binders! They are in release order so easy to put away!

[@8bitRambler]

@@OneStopCoopShop ah right, I noticed symbols and numbers that ran in sync with the different packs I bought, so the symbol is respective to the pack and the numbers run in order through the cycles?

[@8bitRambler]

@@OneStopCoopShop so when you say release order, do you have separate files for each sphere?. As I take it that’s the easiest way to search? Sorry for all the questions, I’m getting mine all sorted, and I must have changed my mind 3 times already 🤣🤣

[@timanson7500]

Hi, is there any way to get the titles for the music samples that play on your videos, this one in particular? Really good video by the way (too bad you forgot to pay for elven light !), you do a great job explaining how to play. Hopefully your enthusiasm will get more people into this fantastic game !

[@OneStopCoopShop]

So the music that I use is from EpicSound, so they don't really have titles (this was was epicsong1 hahahaha!) Sorry I cannot be more helpful. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@d.b.4910]

I really like the idea of tokens to exhaust cards instead of turning them. It's a lot less messy. Where'd you get the ones you're using?

Hello, I have this game from a year now...but i just did 2 games with it. I liked more AH, but now I wanted to try this back again. Will you raccomend playing true solo or two handed like you did?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I personally like 2 handed but I hear many people play solo and are fine with it. It really is about your preference!

[@GOOSEYGOGGLESVR]

Can you declare Quickbeam as an attacker, use his action and declare him again, doing double his damage?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Good question! You can but you can't attack the same enemy twice with the same character!

[@GOOSEYGOGGLESVR]

Yer it's a weird ruling, as you as the player can't declare multiple attacks the same enemy, but I believe a character can contribute to the same attack as many times as the rules allow. I'm just not certain on it.

[@nateleavitt]

Awesome!.. where did you get the playmat?

[@rubenbehnke2283]

Who is Steve? Also, what decks/expansions are all these Ents from?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Steve is the guy I do our portion of the Co-op Cast with. He also is the one that introduced me to the game. As for the ents, you can use ringsdb.com/ to find any card you are interested in! The ents are in a lot of different sets so this way you can find the one you want! Thanks!

[@tomgustafson3464]

Were you paying the 1 Spirit for Elven-Light?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Nope, it is in the subtitles, I totally forgot to do that as you play it from the discard pile! I will lose 3 Spirit Resources next round to make up for it. sorry about that!

[@markucla]

4:24 Whoops, you can say turn the card sideways but you can't say "tap" it unless you're playing Magic the Gathering card game. You can do the act, just not say tap. WoTC might give you a demerit. You did refrain from saying tap a few times so maybe you already know ;)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for the feedback Doug!

[@daleprosser350]

You state that you cannot block with more than 1 character at a time; is this for any situation or is it the case that you can only block an enemy with 1 character each. So in a combat phase 1 player could block with two characters at a time but only if two enemies are attacking that player? So those both characters are blocking 1 enemy each?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Think of it this way. You can attack as a group but you can only defend with 1 character at a time. You declare your defender and then reveal the shadow card. When you attak you can pool attack points together so you can get past those high defenses. Does that help?

[@daleprosser350]

One Stop Co-op Shop Kinda. Say I'm in a 2 player game and I have two enemies engaging me; would I be able to block both of them with 2 different blockers but 1 at a time? So block the first attacking enemy with Aragorn then resolve it, then block the other attacking enemy with Gloin then resolve it. Would that be legal?

[@daleprosser350]

So essentially, you can defend more than once as long as you only use 1 character at a time and do them consecutively and not simultaneously?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yes! Each enemy can be blocked by 1 character. Also to block you have to exhaust the character so I cannot block 2 enemies with the same character baring special abilities.

[@daleprosser350]

I'm clear on the attacking, it's just the defending I am foggy on :)

[@mateosabljic1894]

Hi , could you post deck list you used in this video ?

[@ptitepeluche05]

For the location with Travel : choose and engage an ennemi to travel to this location, I don't think you can travel if you engage zero ennemy.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

You are SO RIGHT! It seems like such a silly rule, but I looked it up and you got it. I will make a note!

[@hashedone]

Disagree. This card resolves some effect on condition (eg. while traveling to this location). Compare this with other card: www.cardgamedb.com/index.php/lotr/lord-of-the-rings-card-spoiler/_/shadows-of-mirkwood/the-hills-of-emyn-muil/the-highlands-thoem - here you have obligatory action which have to be taken to perform travel. Hovewer spelling is not the best part of this game, maybe some FAQ explains this case better - if I am right, better spelling would be: "Forced: while traveling to chetwood forest...", but still I think this doesn't prevent traveling if this effect cannot occure - just because of "The Highlands" spelling.

[@eddyvanman385]

The original rule on page 23 of the Learn to Play rulebook makes it pretty clear: Travel Effects: Some location cards have travel effects, which are denoted by a bold “Travel:” trigger on a card. Travel effects are costs or restrictions that some or all players must pay or meet in order to travel to that location. If the players cannot fulfill the requirement of a location’s travel effect, the players cannot travel to that location.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thank you!

[@baschdiro8565]

Weird that the English Quickbeam is not unique but my German Flinkbaum is.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It's a misprint. It should be unique.

[@warpaint9385]

I got bored of this game, found it difficult to beat sometimes impossible to beat if you didn't build the right deck. Probably hate the quest phase the most plus all the exhausting of cards that leave you short for attack or defence due to questing. Real shame cause I love Lotr. I'm moving on to the digital version hopefully will be more streamlined.

[@GamingWithGeo]

Unfortunately if you want a true digital implementation, the upcoming digital version isn't it. It plays more like Hearthstone instead of the physical game itself.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Totally get this, and I too was hoping the digital version was goign to be similar to this, but it won't be. Still nice they will have a digital implementation in the first place!

[@warpaint9385]

Gaming With Geo I know the digital version is different but that's not an issue for me at this stage. Like I said got bored with this, didn't like some mechanics. Have to wait and see whether I like the digital version or not.
