I forgot that I had pre-ordered this game, and so it was a nice surprise when it arrived. It will be the first game I will play on my new board gaming table in my dedicated playroom1.
I have set the board up for a two player game, but naturally only I am playing it. There is a solo variant that I might have a look at as well, but two-handed solo works for me.
The objectives I will be attempting are the suggested ones for the first game:
- Attain the Blessing of the Elves
- Saruman, Your Staff Is Broken
- Challenge Sauron
- Destroy the One Ring
As I am technically using two players I’ll be using Frodo & Sam, and Legolas as Player 1’s characters, and Merry and Pippin, and Eowyn as Player 2’s characters.
I’ll post the updates here as I go along.
