LOTR: LCG Massing at Osgiliath Review

Massing at Osgiliath Warning: this review contains a whole bunch of spoilers. After the overwhelming response to my review of the then-new and interesting Hunt for Gollum: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/7024671#7024671 followed by the underwhelming response to my review of the rather disappointing Conflict at the Carrock: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/691006/disappointing-solo-single-deck-experience hopefully this review will leave you feeling averagely whelmed.

I’m not trying to rip on this game – I love it, I’m an addict. Anyone who’s read my session reports or seen my fan... View Article
