The Watcher in the Water Adventure Pack.

The Battle of Lake-town Print on Demand Expansion.

The Hobbit: On the Doorstep Saga Expansion.

The Hobbit: Over Hill and Under Hill Saga Expansion.

All these expansions are optional, as their quests do not tie into the events of the books, but the player cards included do. In this list, I took care to focus on the saga expansions, and also add in other expansions to add characters that were central to the part of the books represented by that particular saga expansion.

Utilizes cards that are thematically accurate to the books.

Gameplay must be focused on the events from the books.

Not only does Ian make a great buying guide, but I also recommend his custom expansion, First Age, to be able to play through the events of TheВ Silmarillion. Because of this, the majority of quests will be those which come in the saga expansions, but other expansions are purchased for the cards which fit thematically. They are looking to recreate the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings through the card game. The Slave to Theme players are fans of the books, first and foremost. My hope is that you will find a player type that fits your interest in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game and will be helpful when making your purchasing decisions. To that end, I have come up with a few player types, and in each, axioms which I will use to build their guide. Not all players are created equally, and as such, I do not expect one buying guide to handle all.

What my intention is to not give as much of an in depth look at each individual expansion, but to look at them at a higher level and give you advice as to what to buy next. 'What should I buy next?' Ian, over at Tales from the Cards, has done at great job keeping up with the new expansions in his buying guide. It doesn't matter what forum you frequent, any where that discusses LOTR, the same question comes up. I had built three decks for the event: A Leadership/Spirit deck with Aragorn/Arwen/Frodo, an Ent Deck with Treebeard/Merry/Pippin, and a Silvan deck with Celeborn/Legolas/Haldir. I got to teach it to two of my friends, and these four games are me teaching them, and coming back for more! We played two games each of Journey along the Anduin and Encounter at Amon Din. This probably doesn't come as a surprise, but I don't typically get a chance to play LOTR at cons. The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game - 4 Plays I got 28 game plays over the two days I was there, and I thought I'd talk about them. This time, however, I decided to take it easy and just focus on playing games.

Stephen is a good dude, and getting free games in exchange for demoing isn't bad either. For most conventions, I volunteer for Stronghold Games.

Still smaller than its fall counterpart, BGG Spring was bigger this year than last.

Last year, I was shocked at how small the convention was compared to BGG.CON in November, but still had a lot of fun. I just got back from Dallas (editor's note- a week ago, at the point at which I finally got to post), where I attended the second annual BGG Spring convention, formerly know as BGG FAM.
