Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Hidden hand — You have a hand of cards and then you have three cards face down in front of you, which you can also play. They're mystery cards.
- luck mitigation — a lot of this game is just luck mitigation.
- Set Collection — So, and that's essentially the strategy is you want to flesh out certain suits, you want to get some of the suits, you want to play the lower cards, they score better, and hope that nobody else plays higher cards because then they'll cancel out your potential scoring opportunities.
- Trick-Taking — In each trick, every suit will win. So if you're the only player to play one of the suits, you're going to get that card. You're going to score score that card.

Quotes (from this video)
- The Lord of the Rings is something that I really, really enjoy.
- In most instances, you are playing out your entire hand in this game.
- The packaging and the product design of this game is also just phenomenal.
- It's that one thing that's like everybody's trying to push their points up a little bit more like they want to, but you don't want to do it too much because everybody starts to gang up on you.
- The scoring because you do better if other people do worse. And don't meet their bids.
- Every time I played this game, it just has tickled my brain in the best way possible.
- It takes this simple idea, I guess, and then elevates it just enough that it feels like Ilia said classic, but also doesn't um pull away from the uniqueness of this game.
- It does have grand moments, which I love in games, as many of you know by now. You can be so confident that you're not going to take another trick and you're sitting at 25 and bam, you did. You've busted. Eat it.
