Lords of Middle-Earth is a great expansion that adds a lot of options for both players. The Free Peoples player, especially, will feel a lot less constrained with this expansion in the mix.

Too much randomness for a 3-hour game. Dice luck for the types of actions you can take on a turn, luck of the draw to have good/useful cards, dice luck for hunting for the ringbearers, and dice luck to win battles or perform certain actions.

love the new options available to both sides to say nothing of the inclusion of my homegirl Galadriel. i guess Shadow gets the Balrog and Gothmog or whatever too. who cares? the cards are really, really cool. this expansion definitely tilts the balance a little more towards the Free Peoples Player but advantage is probably still to Shadow. i think once you add this and Warriors, however, the game favors Free Peoples Player. i need more plays, though.
