I was very impressed by Glai's tactic of moving the Fellowship *closer* to Moria to ensure Balrog triggered. I never thought of that and just used the Foul Weather card to move the Fellowship onto a Shadow stronghold for the detection bonus.

Good video! There are not many War of the Ring gameplays nowadays. You missed a couple of things: *When she plays Denethor's Folly (11:20), she only resolves the first part of the card - forgetting the rest of the text! Minas Tirith would have fallen quicker, for that card denies the Free Peoples from playing a Combat card during the siege. *When playing any Ents Awake card, the Free Peoples get to play another Character card without spending any more Action dice. *The Axe and Bow card should have been removed from play the moment Gimli and Legolas left the Fellowship. (Or was it played after they left? I don't remember). *The Swarm of Bats cards cancels the Free Peoples Combat card, yes, but if the FP didn't play any, the Shadow Player gets a +1 on their Combat roll. I think the rest of things have been covered by other comments. Anyway, anytime you guys feel like playing, let me know! We could play online and or remotely through e-mail ir whatever other means! Great job, keep it up! *

You guys have really good taste in games. I really, really like War of the Ring. The theme is great of course and the cards and dice are very nice as well. I'm still a bit of a rookie when it comes to this game, but I remember "soaking" some Corruption by killing Gandalf the Grey (so he can become White) and Merry & Pippin who, if I recall correctly, are just thrown out of the Fellowship when they absorb Corruption. Glai, you played very well and won a well deserved victory. I would perhaps have tried to add some more Nazgul to Minas Tirith before assaulting it, like you did later in the Woodland realms. You need plenty of re-rolls as the Shadow player to eliminate those strongholds. There are quite a few good Combat cards as well, as you know. Sometimes it may be worth waiting for one that's especially good vs. Strongholds (perhaps even use a Event die to draw a card instead of playing one). I'm looking forward to the next video.

Hi Sir Brastias, Yeah, it really is a great game. The theme is fantastic and the components are great to use. You get really pulled into the theme, and it is very engaging. Killing Gandalf the Grey is a good way of soaking up some Corruption alright. I like to get Gandalf out of the Fellowship early because of the extra die he gives. The Shadow Player always has more actions because of his dice so that extra die is extremely useful. To get Merry and Pippin to absorb the Corruption, I guess you would need to separate everyone else from the Fellowship first as their leadership is only 1. The extra Nazgul in Minas Tirith would have been a good strategy for Glai for sure. Siege is tough because you only get one round of battle unless you downgrade an elite to a regular for each subsequent round, and you need to roll a 6 so the leadership re-rolls would be huge. Thanks a lot for your strategic thoughts. They will be great to try out next time we play!

There are a lot of options that can lead to analysis paralysis!

Hi Jeremy. We're delighted that our video helped you and thank you so much for your subscription. I hope our other videos are helpful to you too. As regards your question, the hunt tiles are not put back into the bag after drawing them. If, at any time, all the tiles in the Hunt Pool have been used, you should then return all the beige tiles to the pool, but do not return any blue or red tiles, or any tile that has been permanently removed from the game due to an Event card effect. When the Fellowship reaches Mordor, you should create a new Hunt Pool by placing all the Eye tiles that were previously drawn back to the pool, along with any remaining tiles that were not already drawn, and also add any special tiles that have been put into play by Event cards. You do not place back in the pool any Eye tile which was permanently removed from the game. I hope this helps!
