The Lord of The Rings: Adventure to Mount Doom | Family Game | Cooperative Game | Strategy Game

This board game is amazing!!! It is the perfect balance of difficult to win and possible to win. The instructions were easy to understand and they have an app that explains it as well. The board is beautiful and the characters designs are great!!! We loved playing it and I'm excited to continue doing so in the future. ~K

I like how we work together instead of against each other. I really like all the LOTR scenes and characters! Fun and challenging.

First off, this is a very simple game to learn. There are only a few pages of instructions, and I think it can be easily taught to those in the “10 & Up” range that this is made for.It is a cooperative game. But in reality, all characters and cards are shared between the players; players merely take turns rolling the dice and deciding (with discussion allowed) which rolls to apply as the Fellowship advances toward Mount Doom. Therefore the experience of co-op vs solo is exactly the same. However, the “shared characters” may make it easier to play with (ie help) younger players.I would say the game has a higher than average luck factor, and a mid or slightly under strategy component. That said, it’s probably the right amount for younger players and beginners.Thematically, it’s neat because it’s LOTR, but it could easily be any other “Escort this VIP to their destination” game. The movable characters from the Fellowship don’t have any unique abilities. The theme is mainly in the artwork of the board and cards rather than in the gameplay.Playable in an hour.Overall, as an adult, I didn’t love it or hate it. As a board gamer, I think the payoff is a bit light compared to other options so I probably won’t go back to it often. But as a solo game, or especially a game to play with beginner gamers or younger players, I think it hits the mark.

The rules were a bit hard to understand but once we got the hang off it, it became more enjoyable. It's well made, the colors very nice as well as the details. Overall it's a very nice buy for the price, the board game is nice in size as well.

It's a D&D light board game. We've had a lot of fun geeking out with this game.

I have a lot of long complicated LOTR games. This one is easy to learn and only last about and hour. It is a lot of fun and anyone can learn to play even kids. It is well make and will hold up to a lot of use. Great for fans or just family night.

This is a solid co-op game. The rules are complex at first, but take time to watch the how-to playthrough video and it's pretty straightforward. It's challenging to play and you will probably lose a couple times before figuring out a good strategy to get the Hobbit to the end. Great replayability and a nice gift for the LOTR and tabletop lover, even for those who don't know much about LOTR.

My husband and I absolutely love this game. Couldn’t wait to play it! It can be hard to understand at first, but by the time we finished the first game we understood it and loved it! It is really great quality. We’ll be playing it a lot for sure!
