Game description from the publisher:
What if the Keepers of the Elven Rings had used their Rings of Power to challenge the might of the Dark Lord? What if the Balrog had risen out of Moria to bring fire and fury to the lands of the Free Peoples? What if the Council of Elrond had decided differently regarding the Fellowship of the Ring?

I was curious if this expansion will destroy the already perfect balance of the game. The expansion adds alternatives to the somehow streamlined actions, which is quite nice.

More options and alternatives to create yourown story in the Middle-Earth. Can't mark it as essential since the base game itself is a masterpiece.

I like the new dice, new characters, and new powers of the Elven rings. This expansion doesn't change the original game dramatically. It's like the same original game but with more stuff you can do. This expansion fits into War of the Ring in a natural, seamless way. The expansion isn't something I'd use 100% of the time. Merely for the sake of variety. I mean, I'd be happy to play without it, or with it, just to make different varieties of games. While I'm talking about variety, this expansion includes some juicy stuff to make the Free Peoples more capable of getting a military victory.
