Aaron’s game. Adds more variety to the base, but feels like it takes away from the strategy of the main game.

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.

Introduces a few individual heroes and villains that were omitted from the base game. Best thing for me is the added incentives to battle in the north: the Rivendell—Moria—Lorien axis becomes much more involved in the war with the addition of Elrond, Balrog and Galadriel, respectively. The push and pull between the duality of Smeagol and Gollum is also fascinating.
