Lord of the Rings, both in writing and film, is a very broad, a very dense and a very long story. So it only seems appropriate that War of the Ring reflects this in every way. It is very broad, with battles stretching all the way from Minas Tirith to the Gray Havens. It is very dense, with dozens of units, dice, cards, characters, mechanics... And it is very long, any individual play through lasting for hours. And I love it. Anyone who's a fan of Lord of the Rings really must play it just for its authenticity to the source.

This is an amazing thematic game. I love the asymmetrical gameplay which makes the Sauron player feel powerful and unstoppable, while the Free-peoples player feels like they are on the brink of doom itself. However, this game is extremely well balanced. War of the Ring will be more satisfying and fun if you've read the books first. This is my favorite game of all time.

After many years I have finally grown up with this title. A masterpiece especially if you like Tolkien's world. A complete title giving a great deal of pleasure in playing. Each game is a new story of Middle-earth. Throughout the entire game there is not a moment for boredom, until the very end the game keeps you in suspense and does not allow you to relax. An added value for me are the figurines which I enjoy painting.
