    Customers are mixed about the complexity level of the game. Some mention that the game mechanics are simple to understand while providing for complex strategy. They say it's fairly complicated, but not as difficult to learn as they were led to believe. However, others say that it takes a while to master the rules and expect 3-4 hours+ to play. The rule book seems overwhelming at first, but a read through and a few games with book revisits will help.

    "...Best part, its a great 2 player experience. The rule book seems overwhelming but a read through and a few games with book revisits makes the game..." Read more

    This game is a masterpiece. I never liked board games until I discovered Catan. I am a huge fan of Tolkien’s lord of the rings which I’m sure helped keep me motivated to dig through the extensive rulebook. My friend and I both read this, watched tutorials, and took pages of notes. It seems overwhelming, but it clicks relatively quickly. Once you’ve played through it once you will start to think ohhh next time I will be sure to do this.. and then the next round you’ll learn more and more until eventually it’s all strategy. The level of depth is so satisfying and unbelievably amazing. The miniatures, board, and dice are of good quality and take up an impressive amount of space. The artwork is awesome and I appreciate it being different than the movies. This is a must own for anyone who likes board games or any lord of the rings fan out there. Each game is super thematic to retelling a new story. I own the expansions and can’t wait to learn them. Provided that you have a second player willing to dive into middle earth with you.. this guarantees hours of adventurous battle that always leave you wanting to rematch the next day. I recommend finding a free day to spend anywhere between 2-4 hours or what I do is play a few turns every day or so to just relax and play out a few strategic moves. I fully recommend this. So glad I picked it up. It’ll be difficult to find a better purchase of 2018 for me.
