AGREED

Jarrad Shaw Thanks Jarrad.

Glad to hear it. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Douglas Pearson Thank you Douglas. Merry Christmas!

Where/when did Richard Ham cover The Hunt for the Ring?

He must have taken it down bc he went on about it at length and I don't want that many board game channels and LOR is one of Jen's favorite IPs and after he talked about it then I put it on my BGG wish list and have been waiting for it ever since.

Tamidor Windtaenzer Enjoy! Thanks!

Tamidor Windtaenzer Enjoy! Thanks!

Mike Gregoire Ya seems to be the “core” way to play. However you can bump up the difficulty and I think a Part 1 Nazghul victory is possible.

After reading the rulebook, I agree. It is not two games, it is a game in two parts. Short demos and the novelty of it seem to be throwing people off.

Jack Gibson Awesome. Thank you. Hope you enjoy!

Don't recall exactly... I think I struggled with one or two things, but that was mostly because I'm a dummy.

Stu R Gotta use the dots

Definitely. I mentioned that in a comment here. However, it's certainly possible for the Nazgul to do so. One would just have to bump the difficulty up from the start and it would be possible.

Well sure, if you add some house rule to make it more difficult for Frodo then of course they can. But even the suggested difficulties are designed to work with the full game not just half. And both your review and some of your comments seem to treat them as separate games e.g. you don't want to try part 2 until the Nazgul win part 1. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you did this review and I usually really like your reviews. And this review still has some useful information. But in this one it's seems a shame you didn't play the whole game as designed from start to finish. The second half looks like it plays significantly differently because you no longer control Frodo, but Gandalf instead. So, it seems more like this should be a 'first impressions' than a full review.

Orion3T I mean sure. I was clear about how much I played it. But, that's not a house rule. It comes right from the rulebook on adjusting difficulty.

Agreed, and that's important to note. I guess I just think it's a shame you didn't hold off until you had played the whole thing from start to finish. Because I'd have liked to know what you thought of the whole game, not just the first half. I like hearing your thoughts and opinions, and would have preferred a slightly more thorough treatment. But I appreciate that reviewing games these days is becoming a more and more time-intensive job. Sometimes you just need to go ahead and put a review out accepting you maybe haven't played it as much as would be ideal, or even as much as you would like. If you do get chance to play it right through, an updated 'final thoughts' video would be great. Especially if that happens before it's actually released. But if you don't get chance, no worries! And overall, just to be clear, I'd like to thank you for doing this channel and congratulate you on a job well done. The fact I'd have liked this one to have been a bit more comprehensive doesn't detract from all your great work. Your Game of Thrones review I found particularly useful - it's a game waiting to be opened this Xmas! (kinda instead of Hunt for the Ring, since it was delayed yet again!). Cheers and have a great Xmas!

No worries. I appreciate the feedback. This game is a bit of an odd duck to. I've never seen a two-part game before. Merry Christmas!

That's correct. Looks like the release has been pushed back to January now.

Thank you.

I didn't show them. Sorry about that. They give you bonus actions for like drawing cards and moving the political tracks in War of the Ring.

Drive Thru Review thanks for description.

Sure thing!

This game sounds fantastic! I like the idea of tokens you can use in War of the Ring, as well. :-) Very cool!

It's on sale on Amazon for about $30 right now if anyone here hasn't tried it yet

Hah. Thank you sir.

Depends on the child, but.... I'm guessing around 10-11 range (give or take).

Thank you

Ryan Heckel Sorry thought I was clear. I want the Nazghul to win once first! :)

Drive Thru Review ok that makes sense, i was watching ur review while my 2 year old wanted to play peek a boo. Thanks for the reply

Haha... been there. Interesting note though... I talked about it in my review too, but apparently I was on to something. If you just play Part 1 alone you want to bump the difficulty up for Frodo. The default seems to be meant to be played over the course of both games.

Drive Thru Review oh ok, this game sounds great, Im a huge fan of both War of the Ring, and Battle of five armies, guess I'll have to get this ASAP for that LOTR itch
