Please note that I've only played this game twice. Both times as the fellowship; my friend wanted to play Sauron both times. My aim was to get Frodo to Mordor; my friend wanted to slay Frodo or get 3 characters to the Shire. Either player can lose the game by not being able to move forward (you have to move some character forward on your turn).
The regularly spaced board positions are named after the regions of Middle Earth, though they do not form a map. The theme of the "lord of the rings" settles nicely over this game. That is if you are (like me) inclined to role-play your characters. I sent Sam with Frodo, Pippin with Gandalf. Presumably this will become predictable after a few games. But there's a certain pleasure to be gained from trying to win with extra constraints that add to the feel.
If you've played Dungeon Twister Basic Set (Dungeon Twister), the combat cards have a similar feel. The difference is that in DT, once the characters are revealed, they are permenantly revealed.
In this game, characters are only revealed during combat. So there's a bit of mental bookkeeping - trying to guess, infer and remember the identities of your opponents concealed characters. This uncertainty adds to the fun. Some of the weaker characters are particularly good against specific powerful opposing characters. In our games we kept looking at the reference sheets to determine the consequences of moving a character or using a text (combat) card. I suspect after several games, most cards will become known well.
My first impressions are that it is a fun light game with some strategy.

My husband and I enjoy board games and discovered this two player game by Reiner Knizia a while ago. (about 5-6 months). We have played this game a good 30+ times. We thoroughly enjoy it and are constantly finding new strategies, new moves. It is ever so interesting. Ofcourse we have also built our little stories around the powerful 'Gandalf' and the stories of the 'flying nazgul'. So if you are into the LOTR the book,movie ...then you would totally love this game.
Highly recommended two player game!!

I have the classic edition of this clever game in which a player selects being the good guys or the bad guys. There are nine characters on each side and each character has a unique property. The bad guys win by capturing Frodo, while the good guys win by making sure Frodo arrives safely into Mordor. Though it is often compared to Stratego, this game is more interesting and complex.

My husband is always on the search for two player games that I will actually like to play. This is a more entertaining version of Stratego with enough twists and turns in the game to keep things fresh and interesting!
