@Hunter:
Looks good John!
Thanks Hunter! The pictures don’t do it justice, but very pleased with the set. :-)
I was looking on amazon and I saw the game and I click on it and it’s looks interesting and I’m wondering if I should get it? So I was wondering what you guys think about it? Is it worth to get?
Get War of the Ring or the Trilogy edition Risk of Lord of the Rings….I think you’ll be more satisfied with that…
They do look pretty cool but there quite expensive compared to The Battle of Five Armies. They cost more than Axis and Allies 1940 2nd Ed which I would get that than the others, but thanks for those games.
Both are out of production and both may cost a pretty penny… Every now and then I would look at the 3rd party sellers who may sell it cheap, but shipping may/may not be an issue.
I did see War of the Ring at a store in Austin for a reasonable price.
I got 1940 europe 2nd edition instead, but I will look into The Battle of Five Armies in the near future.
People can still use this tread to talk about the game if they want.
My family and friends loves LOTR Risk. We enjoy the changes from classic Risk. The additions of impassable mountain ranges, rivers and strongholds makes for a much better game.
WOTR is not a pure wargame; it also has the role-playing element of the Fellowship carrying the ring to Ordruin.
BOTFA is a better option if you just want a stand-up fight between fantasy armies. Don’t like Gandalf’s range-finder, though. Seems completely wrong for an area movement game.
