I haven't picked up the Starter decks, and I've been doing just fine so far. I found a great core-set-only deck on ringsdb called Back To Basics that almost feels overpowered. I'm even coasting through the Angmar Campaign so far with it.

Nightmare packs make the quests very very thematic and have improved upon all the quests I have played so far. I got them *luckily* after an email went out where some former FFG employee had a warehouse for his games he was selling, and he had them all for sale at once. I think it was $600 total (I have a problem)

My Lord of the Rings Core set ( which is the original version) came with Black Riders Expansion, so to play the fellowsphip of the rings saga I just need to get the The Road Darkens pack.

As a lotr fan i got the revised core. But now i have an idea where to go from here. But i wish you couo make custom senarios...

Do you think it is possible FFG might drop more Dark of Mirkwood packs that add quests for the less likely printed cycles?

Possible, but I would lean more to improbable unfortunately

I bought a (legacy) core set years ago and really wanted to love it, but found the game quite tough. Hoping to get back into it now with help from the starter decks. Do you think I'll miss out on much by using the old core set? It seems like most of the cards haven't changed in the revised version?

@NelsonAllOverCards

Жыл бұрын

I actually only have the old core as well. There were very very few changes (and I think all the changes may be on cards that are in the starter decks, but don’t quote me on that) and really the only difference is the number of each card. So the new core comes with at least 3 copies of each player card while the original set didn’t always do that!

Thanks! I used to play this game way back. Did any rules change with the revised sets? Why were the sets revised to begin with? What about items to organize card storage, any recommendations on box inserts, etc?

@NelsonAllOverCards

Жыл бұрын

Hey! Short answer - no rules changed. Longer answer - there were a few cards that got their traits updated and they added in a way to play campaign mode through the new released cycles, but functionally in game no rules were updated. They reprinted it to make it easier to get and more economically and ecologically friendly. It was getting very difficult to find different APs and this took everything and combined it into one box. Storage is an insane task lol I use a big white box (www.amazon.com/BCW-5000-Count-Monster-Storage-Strength/dp/B0857L4913/ref=dp_prsubs_3?pd_rd_i=B0857L4913&psc=1) with Tesseract dividers(www.tesseractgames.co.uk/lord-of-the-rings-the-card-game). This is a video on how I store Marvel Champions and it is a very similar system to what I do for LOTR if you are interested! kzread.info/dash/bejne/iXtmtph9nNzOd9o.html

They do, but not a ton! Like you get Gandalfs and such in the starter decks. The cards that are repeated are super useful and are needed to make the starter decks function as a standalone product!

What if I own the original card game box? DO I sell that and get updated box? Or what would be a basic purchasing pathway?

@NelsonAllOverCards

15 күн бұрын

In order to get a full playset of cards in the original packaging you would need 3 total core boxes. So the options would be to buy 2 additional core boxes (if you want multiple copies of all the cards) and then you could print the campaign cards out from the FFG website. Or you could buy the revised core! I think the first option would be the cheapest while the second is a bit easier!

Did you forget the Hobbit Saga expansions or did I miss it? Think they will get a reprint?

That is a good question! I think I kinda assumed they would not get printed since they jumped straight to the LOTR trilogy, that being said, I really hope they do get printed because they are a ton of fun!

LOTR is a lot harder and there is much more to learn about on the deckbuilding side of things.
