The Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-Taking Game

The first thing I want to highlight is the production quality. The cards are beautifully printed, with clear artwork and very pleasant card stock — they feel great in your hands. The tokens are also well made and sturdy, and overall the components give a strong impression of a premium, carefully produced game. From a physical standpoint, it’s a real pleasure to play. As for the gameplay, I personally find it just as interesting and engaging as The Crew. If you enjoy cooperative trick-taking games, this one definitely deserves your attention. That said, instead of going into detailed rules or explanations here, I’d recommend checking out online reviews or playthrough videos — they do a much better job of showing how the game flows and why it works. Overall, this is a very well-made game with a solid and enjoyable core mechanic, especially for fans of trick-taking and cooperative card games.

Love this game, there's so much to it. So much variety of play, really challenging and fun to play for all players. Good quality.

Beautiful artwork collaborative game, easy to get started and lots to look forward to working through the chapters.

This is a great trick taking came, the quality of the cards is amazing and the game play is so much fun. It starts of easy and then gets harder. It’s in a small box so can easily be carried. Also played this with a 6 year old who understood it which is amazing and also a 15 year old. The age range is very good.

A great game once you get the hang of the layout haha brilliant

Very good indeed. Beautiful artwork. Nicely ramped challenges. Nothing not to like about this game. My group is loving it

If you like Bridge, Whist and games like The Crew, you need to buy this. Really well designed game that has clearly been tested to destruction. Thematically very good given the unavoidable shadow of a track taking card game, but I still think you will enjoy it. Sometimes tough to play, at other a fun romp. Not the cheapest card game, but excellent production values. One of the best games of 2023 so far.

Haven’t played it yet but looks good quality. My dad was very happy with the Gift.

Fun game with amzing art and tokens!

Great game! Beautiful artwork and very fun coop adventure game.

This is a seriously great game. It's simple to learn (if you know how to play other trick-taking games like Spades or Hearts, you're 90% of the way there). It's Cooperative, so everyone wins or loses together. Setup time is minimal. Space needed is minimal. You don't need knowledge of Lord of the Rings to enjoy it (though it would enhance your enjoyment). The game is strategic without taking a huge amount of time. The stained-glass style art is great. And most importantly, it's a huge amount of fun. I have a huge amount of board games and heartily recommend this to anyone who seems remotely interested. Also would make a good gift. (If you like this, check out The Crew, and The Gang as well) My only suggestion is to pick up some card sleeves on the side because it could see a lot of play and sleeves would protect it's value.

Juegazo!! Lo estoy disfrutando en grandes en modo solitario! Amo los juegos de tomar trucos y este a sido un deleite! Si o si me llevo la secuela y si o si cómpralo! Y ni soy fan del señor de los anillos eh!

Fantastic game, all in perfect condition, loved artwork, great for LOTR fans
