Xmas gift from sister - not something I would have chosen. Useful review here https://boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/157862/february-lotr-adventure-book-and-oltree

(based on 1 play) was a bit hesitant after we had a so-so experience with the wizard of oz storybook game. however, chapter 1 was immediately more interesting with the corruption track and working around ring cards junking up your hand. play is simple and straightforward but there's some opportunity for strategical discussion and a fun tension, as successful completion will likely come down to the last few turns! looking forward to other chapters, solid pick up.

Tentative ratings through the first 4 scenarios, clever and pretty well designed. Many, many user experience & graphic design travesties non withstanding, I otherwise think this is a solid otherwise.
