War of the Ring: Warriors of Middle-earth

Depends on your group

Our take
Reddit commenters in the Lords/Warriors thread were lukewarm: one used it 2-3 times and called it bloat, another said it adds many rules for mechanics they do not find compelling and makes games swingy, a third has not considered adding it, and one said their games with it were each decided by the last die roll. BGG still rates it about 8.3 with about 1.7K ratings and about 11K owners, so it is liked by many who own it.
What you need first
Just the base game
What it adds
Ents, Dead Men of Dunharrow, Great Eagles, Corsairs of Umbar, Wild Hilmen of Dunland and Giant Spiders as unique figures with specific abilities, plus Faction Dice and Faction Events.
