War of the Ring stands as the most thematic game in my collection, beautifully immersing players in Tolkien's world. Unlike many other ameritrash games, War of the Ring is mechanically a masterpiece that allows for interesting decisions - full of geopolitical dependencies and struggles. The game's mechanics perfectly complement the theme, creating sensible situations and a unique storytelling experience. It's an outstanding and one-of-a-kind hit, making it a true masterpiece. We are using Lord of Middle-earth expansion.

Played 2 times. Very long. Feels old, but in good sense. Bit random. But have very good asymmetry, very well capturing the LotR situation.

Very good game, but very very long, so the game don't go to the table very often, but the feel of the middle earth is splendit and the miniatures are good, Ares is a very good company, I liked the tarot card sizes. The big problems is that the dices limit your actions a lot.
