Quotes (from this video)
- I like this one a little bit more because first off, it's Lord of the Rings.
- The art in this game is topnotch. It very much has a Lord of the Rings feel to it.
- Do you feel it somewhat capture at least the spirit of the game?
- I definitely do think it captures some of it with like the line of sight like the guards will can only see in front of them.
- Those two things right there, the dice roll and the dual value cards, is what turned this game into something that I just freaking loved.
- One of the best new trick taking games I've played in quite a while.
- I went in prepared for control decks and didn't have face on one of them.
