I REALLY enjoyed this game. The theme and mechanics are wonderful. I know it says this can be a 4-player game, but it still just feels best playing 2 players. And frankly, 2-player games are really hard for me to get to the table - which is why it's only in my 'Like to have' wishlist.

This is the most complex game I've ever played. Many many fiddly rules. It's so much fun once you get them and internalize their reasons, as they all make sense. But it's a beast to learn. I've played Terraforming Mars, Terra Mystica, Star War Rebellion, Through the Ages, etc. Set aside many hours to learn the rulebook and several hours during the game to relearn/clarify them. First game took about 5-6 hours. Because of all the work we both did on the first game and prior to the first game, the 2nd game only just under 3 hours.

Lord of the Rings themed wargame for up to 3 players. Usually 2 players - one player plays as the forces of evil (Mordor), and the other the forces of good. Players battle it out, but also have to keep an eye on and spend actions to sneak/search for the ringbearer.
