I might be wrong but in the duel format there's an special rule for path scoring. The free people only wins the path combat if they have more shields than skulls. In case of a tie, no one gets points. In 24:45, the shadow player has 1 skull and the free people player has 1 shield. So the FP player shouldn't take that path into its scoring zone. Thoughts?

At the 37 minute mark - would it have made more sense to move one of you characters from the PP to another location, since you were giving up on the PP anyway, rather than play a card from hand?

You may have mentioned this and I may have overlooked it but do you feel the lotr theme playing? Or do you just feel like you're playing a card game? If that makes sense..

Seems like a nice game. But they should not have printed "Demo" on the cards for this Pre-Release version. The reviewer will mentioned anyway that this is not the final version. It blocks a little bit the view of the beautiful pictures.

Doing this 4 handed solo will be just fine. Playing it two handed per player two player will be just fine. I'm not sure why they don't suggest double handed per player as the default two player way.

Informative play through but dam I really hope they release an actual solo variant. This looks like a pain to play solo as it currently is

Really? The game took 20min to have the first fitting card in play?

Is this just a non-representative play or is the card draw so underwhelmingly random.

A good game design offers a lot of interesting options and not >90% being no option at all....because some specific symbols dont match.

Thank you for showing us this game.
IMO these kind of playthroug would be alot more helpful to just play and not explain every single little decision. When were at 10 min mark we have seen just ine single decision. It would have been better to just play on and show the game by doing the actions of the game, in 10 min mark you should be already on path 2. It gives us so much more just by seeing all the different mechanics of the game instead of all possible options a single decission have.
Its just my thoughts.
