Awesome game. Excellent bits and board, very immersive. It is probably my favorite 2-player game, and it is THE definitive Lord of the Rings game. If you want an epic Lord of the Rings gaming experience, this game cannot be beat. During the game, both players must allocate their actions between the fellowship of the ring (either finding them or getting them to Mordor) and the War between the Free Peoples and the Shadow. Each nation has their own miniatures and the cards do a very good job of reenacting situations (or possible situations) from the books. The action dice are a cool part of the game that can force you to alter your strategy a bit, but still gives you a ton of choices. The second edition has a less geographically accurate board (the game space relationships are the same, but the actual artwork is less accurate), but is superior in all other respects; looks better, bigger cards, Gollum figure included, updated rules, etc...

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.

Para mim este é o melhor jogo já publicado em termos de adaptação, ambientação e imersão. A parida é uma verdadeira imersão no universo dos livros e sonho com o dia em que eles lancem algo para o Silmarillion (assim como fizeram com o Hobitt - Batalha dos 5 Exércitos). O jogo tem mecânicas até simples, porém são dezenas de detalhes, fases e para quem nunca jogou, recomendo fortemente a leitura do manual duas vezes, assistir reviews, gameplays e explicação de regras, além de ter ajuda aos jogadores a mão o tempo todo. Um jogo que todo fã de Senhor dos Anéis merece e precisa ter na coleção. Se não tiver, merece pelo menos passar pela experiência de jogar ele. Com a expansão você acrescenta o fator "e se", mas isso fica para um comentário quando eu adquirir a mesma. A versão nacional da Devir tem uma série de pormenores, mas não tira o brilho deste lançamento.
