Thematically brilliant, but does take a very long time to play on first try. The more you play the clearer certain edge case rules become and the game flows a lot better. I wish the digital JAVA app was better implemented to allow play against the computer to get more familiar with it like Twilight Struggle. There's a ton of depth here, but hard to explore solo.

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.
