Fate of the Fellowship   Leave a comment

We played this for the second time with three players . Mikes Frodo made it into Mordor with time running out and low on hiding tokens. There were lots of Orcs and Nazgûl about. Despite being on 8 hope Frodo lost 5 hope going to mount doom. Even with Tom Bombadil helping he failed to survive the final seven dice search roll and Sauron claimed victory.

Lord of the Rings Games

First game up after lunch was Lord of the Rings Fate of the Fellowship. With Darryl leading the way with Frodo and Sam we managed to make into Mordor. Boromir and Aragorn guided him through the paths. With hope gained from capturing both Moria By Merry and Pippin and Isengard by Gandalf even though we lost the Woodland Realm the final was manageable. However we had less than one full round of player turns to go before the deck ran out so it was just in the nick of time.

The game took a little time perhaps because it was our first attempt.

After that we got five players together for Knizia’s Lord of the Rings game standard version. Everything seemed to be going reasonably well until we reached Mordor where everything unravelled so quickly that we soon drew the final Event! The Ring was Sauron’s!

We then did a quick round of the dice rolling Lord of the Rings game which Darryl won whilst I was still in Rohan!
