Great game as usual, really well explained. I love the story that this game creates. The section where you describe what went well or wrong for each of you is huge as it helps viewers understand the turning points. Many thanks.

Hi Steve. Really glad that you liked the video. The story the game creates is great. I love the way certain cards can only be played at certain stages which keeps the narrative on track. Thanks for watching and commenting, and we wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Best teach and playthrough I have seen! I am normally the rules teacher for my play groups, so I normally play a round or two solo before I teach. Due to the four distinct decks this game has, it has been been hard to learn. Thank you so much!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

You are very welcome! It's great to hear that our video helped you learn the game. We hope you and your group have fun with it. It takes a bit of getting used to playing with multiple decks, but after a few games you get used to it. It is nice to have 4 players though where each person can concentrate on just one deck. Thanks a lot for your comment!

Great video! The rules explanations and break downs during play helps so much. Best teaching playthrough around 🎉😊

Great video! Without a doubt the best teach and playthrough on KZbin. It captures the mechanics and twists and turns the came may take very well. Good strategies here. As far as I can tell there is one mistake at the 58:30 mark where Glai uses Gwahir to take Gandalf into hand, but takes him from the draw pile instead of the cycle pile.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thank you very much Johan! We're delighted that you enjoyed the video. You are correct about the mistake too. Thanks for letting us know. I have put a note in the Klingon subtitles. Cheers!

Incredible playthrough, really good

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

That's great Jango! Really glad you liked it. Thank you for watching!

44:45 When the Balrog moved onto the path, the free peoples players should have forsaken 1 card as his ability states "when played *or* moved"

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Oh, good spot. You are correct! Thank you for letting us know. I have put a note in the Klingon subtitles.

[@wondermot2780]

Hi, can you play item cards to characters already on a battleground or path?

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hello. Yes, you can play an item to a character as long as they are in play (either in Reserve or on a Battleground or Path).

[@kyostituominen]

Excellent video!! I just bought this game yesterday myself. Couple of mistakes I spotted: I think Aragorn was played without cycling a card. The Witch King player gets to draw cards (at one point even 7) and play 2 armies (or 2 nazguls) but it also says to forsake one of the drawn cards, right? I think all the rest got just cycled. In Path 8 when Frodo is cycled, he has the elven cloak so all the items should get cycled too, not eliminated, right?

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hello there. Thank you very much for your comment. Really glad that you liked the video. Thank you also for letting us know about the errors. We have made notes about them in the Klingon subtitles. Cheers!

[@Lordofthering2102sj]

Ehi thanks for the video! Do you think that this game Is fun for Two player two handed or It became Too eavy than?

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thanks a lot for watching! It definitely takes a lot of management to play two hands, but I do think it is fun still. 4-player would definitely be the best way to go, but we did have a good time playing with 2.

[@elvisluvaton5078]

Gandalf was taken from draw deck instead of cycle as the card said. Was it an error or did I miss something?

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Elvis. This was an error - sorry about that. We have a note about it in the Klingon subtitles. Cheers!

[@derekpru]

Can you use the Palanthir after you just put it on the same round ?

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Derek. Yes, you can use items immediately. The only thing you cannot do in the same round is move a character or an army from the reserve to a battleground or path. Hope this helps!

[@derekpru]

Thanks for super fast reply

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

[@nemanjajovanovic7430]

Greetings from Serbia, I bought this game today and I have a question for you. When I play a card in reserve, does its ability apply immediately, the next round, or only in a new round?

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hello Nemanja! I hope all is well there in Serbia! As regards your question, the ability on cards in reserve applies immediately. The only thing you have to wait for is if you play a character or an army into reserve. You may not move them into a battleground or onto a path that same round, so you must wait for the next round to do that. Hope this helps!

I’d suggest putting time stamps to allow peeps to just jump to the start of play or rounds, turns, with end of comments etc

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Steve. We do have some time stamps in the videos, but can add others if you would like more. You can click on the links in the description to get to the explanation, the start of the game and to the interviews at the end.

@@AllAboardBoardgames Oh yea. It hadn't occurred to me to click on the down arrow to see the listing. It isn't something I normally do. But the list is there thow. Not my cup of tea of a game TBH.
