I'm late to the game, but finally picked this up. really looking forward to playing it. after opening it up, I caved and ordered the 2 expansions and 3 mini packs. It's been on my list a long time but i just never pulled the trigger.

I seperate mine by expansion in ziplock bags and thrown them all in one box

so i have a question, so i will play this with my friends. Will they all have to download the app or is it just one person? if everyone needs to download the app could you pare them with each other so everyone plays the same story, or if its just one person is it better to have a something with a big screen ?

why didn‘t they choose arwen and eowyn?
if the game doesn‘t care who meets when, at least girls who want to play girls can play girls whose names they know 😢 the movies already built those two up with arwen saving frodo from the wraiths and eowyn killing the witch king so i feel quite sad that’s not worth more than generic no names 😢

Is that Jared Harris narrating the app?

[JK-nxmy]

10 minutes in you give the characters some cards but don’t say why or what cards. Any suggestions on what video would explain that info?

[isaacixtupe]

Do we need the internet to use the app and play the game?

[beenget]

So does the app take you through all the set up?

[Memmnarch]

the very first scout and he does it wrong by equiping 2 cards at the same time to bilbo ^^

[rugbyboy]

Arghhhh read the books not just the films there 50ish years between and it states quite clearly that bilbo was friends with the elves and dwarves Gimli is the son of Gloin one of bilbo company. Legos is the son of Thandruil king of the wood elves of course Bilbo knew them. The world Tolkien created goes much deeper than what peter jackson gave us and even the basic novels of the hobbit and lotr. Sorry sorry rant over.

Hi, can I play this game without the App?

Your incorrect by saying that Tolkien wasn’t “Progressive when it comes to lady adventurers.” The game just wants to make money—they care nothing for inclusiveness. Compared to the insanity of our day, no age was progressive. But Tolkien absolutely was for his age, especially in including female roles. But he was also a rationalist. Women aren’t going to be “adventuring” as much as men due to the structure of Arda, his world.
