The Lord of the Rings perfectly summarized as a board game… just with some ridiculous what-ifs. The lotr trilogy may have become a tabletop board game perfect for two players, but there’s definitely still some quirks since players can do some whacky non canonical things with the shadow armies and free peoples. Cards that incentivize good strategies may cause certain events that go way off how the movies play out, and the free peoples are hilariously reluctant to go to war, even when attacked first!

Also the rulebook can be a little crazy, and Middle Earth has a ton of locations that you might take some time to find while playing during board game night. As a two player war game with a bunch of different win conditions and abilities, there’s bound to be some hilarious jank like Gandalf in Fangorn for some reason; who knows what shenanigans you can make heroes like Legolas and Gimli do!
