Asmodee | 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.

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

Bought for my brother in law, cool well thought out game, nice to play a game where you work with others rather than against, decently difficult, puzzling might be a better work, value wise we got to chapter 12 of 18 and we’re playing for an hour plus, great value, I may well be buying myself a copy

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.

More to this game than meets the eye 👁️ (pun intended). Clever little trick taking game that changes as you go through the different chapters. Only played at two so far but can see it working and looking forward to playing it at a higher player count. The theme is there, it does feel like a journey, have already bought the two towers to follow on.

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

Bought as present. Basically it's like whist, but with interesting variations. We enjoyed playing it at Christmas. I wasn't sure about a collaborative game but it's actually good fun - all players are turning as a team. You don't need to have read LoTR or seen the films - but it's probably more fun if you have. Recommended.

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.

Fun game with amzing art and tokens!

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

Fantastic game, fantastic presentation, the first card game I felt compelled to buy sleeves for. I can't rave enough about this game: the cards are beautiful, the gameplay is easy enough for anyone to be able to play and still has enough fun gameplay mechanics to intrigue more serious players. All around, well worth the price

Beautiful art, very thematic

This easy to play and pleasantly cooperative card game gives players an opportunity to go through the classic story of the Lord of the Rings in trick-taking fashion, working together to tell the story of the fellowship of the ring. The game is full of clever mechanisms to introduce characters each round of play across a campaign that tells the story and gives players the opportunity to work together to make the way through this wonderful book. You’ll get a lot of play out of this and it’s a great price for beautifully appointed cards.
