The Verdict
based on 34 reviews
“It's a wholehearted recommendation. I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would considering where I mean, now we have kind of two trick-takers we really love.”(13:12)
“It's got this nice little clever twist on a classic trick-taking system that most people see in the past multiplayer games, but it's wrapped in The Lord of the Rings theme and the fellowship adventure, and I think that's going to appeal to a number of people.”
“It's just so easy and fun, it's easy to get into, and boy is it a delight. I mean, I I honestly just had a ton of fun with it.”(8:26)
“It's really cool it's a great fun game to play I highly recommend it if you can find a copy I know kind of sold out pretty fast but I know there's going to be another printing because it's sold out so fast”(10:53)
“The Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-Taking game is a faithful and beautiful journey into the world of Middle-Earth. With a low barrier to entry, this is a fantastic introduction to trick-taking for the uninitiated, and a strategic experience for those who are fans of the genres.”

“So imagine just giving a ton of variety a ton of mismatch and a ton of just chaotic fun that's what this game is”(8:22)
