This expansion sometimes boggs down the original game with more clutter, but it still adds to the grandiose of War of the Ring.

Adds time and complexity to an already long and complex base game. Also adds figurines to an already cluttered game board. Maybe too much for me to like it as much as the base game. I think a lot of what the base game abstracted through the use of event cards (Treeants, Eagles, Spiders) doesn't really need it's own faction and figures. The extra dice (and cards) add more length to the game, because they allow for extra actions (or extra events/combat cards).

I prefer this over Lords of Middle Earth, as it really engages the areas of the map that were previously unused. It also made Rohan a little stouter in my plays.
