![]() And both solitaire and multiplayer are fun and rewarding experiences - a two-player game being the most fun for me personally because it is relatively easy to find synergies between the two player decks (a simple example of this would involve one player fielding a Tactics deck with lots of attacking power, while the other player uses Spirit cards to keep the players' threat level low and make progress on the quests). ![]() Like many cooperative games, this one can be played with a single player (that's you!). ![]() Furthermore, the adventures and quests which the heroes must complete do not originate from Tolkien's brain, although the locales and creatures do, so those of us who are a bit weary of walking to Mordor to dunk a ring in a volcano now have a few more perilous items added to our to-do lists. Thankfully, the characters depicted on the cards do not look exactly like the characters from the movies (sometimes, not even close), and it is highly refreshing to finally see a new vision of Tolkien's creations. The artwork on the cards is stunningly beautiful - so much so that I would recommend buying this game to any devoted Tolkien fan solely for the artwork on the cards. The various components and tokens that come with the cards in the box are very nice-looking, and the graphic design-work put into this package is of very high quality. The game is scenario-based, with lots of "Encounter Cards" per scenario, and when combined with customizable player decks, this element makes for lots of replayability. This is a game in which the mechanics perfectly reinforce the game's theme to genuinely recreate the experience of being a party of heroes struggling to complete a quest. The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is a truly excellent cooperative card game.
