Thanks for this gameplay video. I especially enjoyed the lore readings you did when the location cards were revealed.

Whilst the solo mode fell flat for me, still ty for having a play through. I think this video is the only solo play through on KZfaq thus far.

On the last path, they deployed a monstrous enemy (2 of them) so you would have had another shield and the points would have been 19 -19 which is still a lost. but closer :)

Loved the gameplay, thanks for sharing! I have my copy waiting on the shelf. Laughed at the part where the Aragorn player uses the ring and immediately after you use wording: "These two are mine still". where you claim the battlefields 😂 Must be the ring! + Liked the love you are giving for Gimli and his axe. Next expansion must be all about dwarves and their useless axes. 😅

Great playthough. I've been kind of on the fence since most reviews I've seen have been lukewarm. But I am convinced of the coop/solo potential. Already like the game for multiplayer. And it reminded of the countless hours I've spend with your lord of the rings lcg playthroughs.

Another Tolkein game? How many are there? XD. Just watching a game helps understand how the game runs. This just reminds me how many awesome cards I am missing from LOTR the Card Game.

This game looks great, I'd like to check it out myself. One thing irritated me: as I am not familiar with the word "winnow", I thought, it is a typo and means "win now", which would make the game quite short.

I don’t have the solo play expansion, but isn’t using the ring an action? When you used it for the Dunedain deck you also immediately played a card (I think it was the Aragorn’s sword). I think the Mordor player would’ve played those last Orcs to Minas Tirith first (they had a chance of taking it before the sword was played)
