    As a very new player (only 2 games played) I'm super excited for this expansion. Being able to play through scenes from the books is awesome. I recently listened to the audiobooks and the scenes with the black riders was FAR more terrifying than in the movies so that is the part I'm most excited to play!

    I can confirm that this box will hold all of the saga quests (plus the Hobbit Saga quests and relevant POD if you have them) if most of the cards are unsleeved. I currently have all of my Hobbit + LotR content in the revised core box, and I only sleeve the quest and player cards. Very excited to see this reach a new audience

    I'm most excited to play the sequence of the escape from the Black riders. The constant fear of getting caught, the rush to make it to Bree, and the first feeling of discovering a whole new world (from the minds of the hobbits).

    I've been playing since the beginning of this year and thrilled to pick up the revised core to start. I was bummed when I realized as I wanted to expand that more and more expansions were out of print waiting for these reissues. I'm just super excited for all these releases especially this saga so I can play the themed quests from the fellowship.

    I’m glad that they put the two sagas together for Fellowship, I’m gettting back into the game and the fellowship is next on the list(got the hobbit expansions and through dwarrowdelf cycle). Ultimately looking forward to the Nazgûl aspect, the flight of the Hobbits in the book was much more gripping than in the movie and I want to play through that, we all know Fatty Bolger is the real hero of LotR.

  • @cmdrm00s38
    @cmdrm00s38 2 года назад

    Great unboxing! Really love all your series! My answer to your question, it is definitely the part where Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli set out to pursue the Orcs and rescue Merry and Pippin, even while they debated to follow Frodo and Sam to Mordor. This was the part where Boromir was slain near Parth Galen, close to the banks of Anduin. The turning point of an adventure, the sense of fellowship and the characters progression (especially for Aragorn, as from a Ranger of the North to the becoming the king) - all these are my favourite moments of the Fellowship.
    I am not sure whether the saga box can really capture those moments (since I just started into LotR LCG), but I really appreciate if you could play the Hunters as a thematic playthrough, since they are good friends in the Fellowship. A deckbuilding guide would be great as well, knowing your thought process between the different spheres of the Hunters that are available now. Thanks!

In this though, I love the books, so I'm excited about all of it, especially shooting myself in the foot by playing Fatty Bolger solo, lol. Really though, I love the Mines of Moria and think they'd make a very difficult and challenging quest.

    Most of all I am looking forward to playing the new Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him :)
    As for Fatty Bolger - I think he could be handy in situations where you really need to quest through a stage or location (first part of Over the Misty Mountains Grim comes to mind as an example). However it makes little sense to put such action on a hero, I would rather see it on an ally or as a 0 cost event (as Radagast's Cunning does cancel the same threat altogether for the cost of 1).

  • @jeffersonjjohnson
    @jeffersonjjohnson 2 года назад

    Fatty is great at working against Sam and Pippin. I haven't played through the Fellowship quests yet, so I don't know what I'm up against. Fatty seems more like a neat curiosity than a great hero. It should be noted that if anything raises the threat on enemies after using the ability, no additional threat is add to the player or the quest. That's kinda neat. He can play off spirit Merry to zero out any threat gain. That's kinda neat. Anything that reduces threat as its gained softens the blow. Anything that triggers off of threat gain will go off. Both are kinda neat. He seems ok to test against easier quests or for situations where you want to experiment with effects more than winning the quest itself. He's no Folco Boffin.

    2. He's the best natural Hobbit defender! 2 defense, 3 hit points printed. Ring Mail and a cloak. Maybe a Staff of Lebethron. He's a Beregond Brick Wall.

    The answer to the question is the Flight to the Ford. I think that race quests add a different twist and mechanic to the game. Go Frodo!

    Difficult to name one card, as I don't have the saga set yet :D. Maybe Fatty, just to discover the multiple ways to use this one?? :)

    I am most excited to see Sam get Bill the pony in for free and to make an awesome Hobbit deck!
