    The 2nd edition of the game is one of the best purchases for this price range for a heavy board game with such abundant production. If someone takes the trouble to paint the miniatures, I have the impression that they will delve so deeply into the world of LOTR, in an alternative twist, that they will never part with this game even if they play it once a year. Along with SW Rebellion, they are the most thematic games of these fantasy worlds. For anyone who is a fan and a board gamer at the same time, it must not be missing from their collection.

    It is not random that it is in the top positions of BGG. An amazing strategy game. Mainly for 2 players, and the rules can be adjusted afterwards for 3 or 4 players. But the base starts with 2 players, where one plays as the dark player, and the other controls the "good" forces. Especially if you like the theme, it is worth it. It takes about half an hour to set up and at least 4 hours to complete, especially in the beginning. English is necessary, it has difficult rules and many cards that affect the outcome. Many of the plastic pieces came bent, but there is a way to fix them with hot water. Once you learn the rules, it becomes a very good game
