Depends on your group
- Our take
- A player who has used it calls it 'fun and dynamic' but 'a relatively small expansion' (new sovereigns that can be awakened or corrupted, new Shadow minions that 'don't influence the game too much'); another commenter owns the first two expansions, doesn't like them, and isn't excited for a third. BGG rates it about 8.6 (about 452 ratings), so it suits owners who already play the base game a lot. No in-depth review read.
- What you need first
- Needs War of the Ring Second Edition (BGG lists it as expanding the second edition). No requirement for Lords or Warriors stated on the pages read.
