    Ricky. When I first started watching your Mage Knight videos, I was thinking "What kinds of drugs is this guy on, I can't watch this." Now however, after all the help you gave me with Mage Knight, and watching your series in it's entirety, I have come to realise your videos are a treasure. Truly you are dedicated. Fantastic editing. Fantastic tutorials. Glorious in every way. Thankyou for your dedication!

      Well, moderation is key but that's true with anything.

    You have a masterful use of pauses in your presentation style. This is key if an audience is to retain what they're learning. Well done!

    Thanks very much for this. I am a seasoned wargamer but was still having trouble with these rules. Watched this entire series some years back and now my daughter and I have played this over and over. I'm always the good guys and she's always the Fellowship.

    Wow... for many years I have assumed that this War of the Ring game was a remake of SPI's War of the Ring from 1977 (which I own). It's not! I should stop assuming things and pay more attention. Thanks for the great videos, as always.

    By far the best tutorial of this game. Just bought it for my girlfriend and I, and we were very stuck and watching others explain so many concepts all at once was overwhelming. This example game helped us understand the game so much easier, and now we play almost every week! Thank you!!

    • @BoxofDelights
      @BoxofDelights  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      my pleasure! Safe adventures! R.R.

  • @scottsmartky

    It's really a must-have addition as it adds a lot (elusive monsters, and ones you can't use abilities/spells against) plus a bunch more AA and spell cards. Not only that, but you get one more hero specific card so 1/8th of your deck is unique. The best thing is that you get to eliminate dummy with the addition of Voltare's 2 new scenarios. Since he has loads of blanks (wounds) and draws one card/turn, you get to do a lot more per round now. Plus, one new move-focused hero and co-op abilities

    Just found this game, and your tutorial series. After watching the first segment, I'm really looking forward to more. This game looks enthralling, and your videos will give me welcome kickstart to the mechanics and gameplay....cheers!

  • @jerzykolodziej4533
    @jerzykolodziej4533 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    just recently got this (after many months of "will I / won't I"!) & found this series of videos incredibly helpful to get started. I'm typically quite thorough so I was always going to read through the rules, but I got the distinct feeling the read through would have been far more difficult had I not watched this series first. Thanks!

    I was literally just looking last night for a good WoTR series after watching your Mage Knight series. This is awesome!

  • @dcbriscoe2000
    @dcbriscoe2000 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Battles f the third age I don't believe is really any use with 2nd edition for balance reasons. This is being resolved with the release in March of Lords of Middle Earth which brings important characters and monsters into play in a much more balanced and themed approach

  • @BoxofDelights
    @BoxofDelights  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Keep watching.... it gets better and better .....

  • @msa4998

  • @davwalp1234
    @davwalp1234 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks so much for your hard work on this series (particularly the editing/camera work). I found it incredibly helpful overall. Also took both of your suggestions re: coloring the base of the minis and getting separate red/blue combat dice. I am running with opponents on Saturday!

  • @pad92011
    @pad92011 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    wow. I never thought a game of Lord of the rings could be this good. I've been avoiding them like the plague. Hmmm... I think I might buy this one too.

  • @baredas
    @baredas 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Probably the best LOTR game made although it is slightly biased toward the Shadow player without the expansion set.

  • @ericschlautman

  • @BoxofDelights
    @BoxofDelights  11 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    it does have some trouble with my accent and get the words wrong sometimes.....

  • @baredas
    @baredas 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sorry this is obviously the 2nd edition, and that has some modifications to it with regards to the first edition so it's more balanced out of the box. I was talking about the 1st ed. which is better balanced with the add on set, "Battles of the Third Age". This specific add on isn't recommended to use with the 2nd ed. as it will make the FPP too strong.

  • @MelodicMethod

    @aqurk 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cool. Been trying to learn this game for a while, but haven't had the patience to really get into it. These videos will help a lot - seeing it being played/explained. Good work

  • @scottsmartky
    @scottsmartky 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love that everything is gigantic in the game except the combat dice which look very, very tiny. Either that's to fit in the box or to save money. Either way, I'd love to have been in their office when they had to make that call. Just strikes me as funny.
    Love your videos Rick. And I'm joining the chorus of people clamoring for a Mage Knight Expansion playthrough. After being throttled in both games in Solo Conquest, I'm going on to the Volkare quests to try my luck there.

    Great series Ricky. I only own 1st edition but have recently upgraded. How about a vid series featuring expansions? The Two Towers is more of a tactical expansion, and the Lords of Middle Earth pack is for 2nd edition.

    hey Ricky, I literally just bought this game because of you, I also purchased the Lords of Middle earth expansion. Have to played with any of the expansions? If so how would you feel about another playthrough with expansions? Love your videos, keep up the amazing work. Cheers

    You made me buy this game, and I have played it once and won as Evil.
    Now I am thinking of one of the other games you did,
    namely [Level 7] Omega Protocol.
    I have already played and loved the sequel, [Level 7] Invasion, and from what I have seen, the games are not at all similar, but I really want to try Omega Protocol.
    Suggestions?

    • @BoxofDelights
      @BoxofDelights  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Llamad Mow it's good, real good - but it only works well with a frw people. If you want a similar experience solo then try FFG's Gears of War ;)

  • @Arthounot
    @Arthounot 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I see it as the fellowship is still hidden when declared, is this true? My friend and i had a discussion about when the fellowship is revealed. I think the Fellowship can only be revealed by a hunt tile containing a reveal icon, or maybe a card. He thinks the fellowship is not hidden when declared also. What is the answer?

    • @BoxofDelights
      @BoxofDelights  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question. The fellowship remains HIDDEN. If the free-peoples declares the position of the Fellowship, it is still NOT changed to "revealed".

    Would you recommend this game for beginners? Because I've been looking into getting a board game to play with my friends and trying to find something easy but fun! Suggestions?

    • @BoxofDelights
      @BoxofDelights  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      i wouldn't say this one was easy. If you like the theme, try Lord of the Rings by Knizia (www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/823/lord-rings), which is a co-op, not player versus player, so mistakes are not so contraversial, but War of the Ring is much better... watch the videos and decide which you think is a best fit:)

  • @kenho85
    @kenho85 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi very nicely done video. I watched the one where you introduced mage knight and that made me buy it!. Not regretting.
    After watching the vid on WOTR, would it be possible to play solo for this game?

    • @BoxofDelights
