1P 388 - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship
Q: What do you think about the thematic elements of the game?

Q: And how often do you lose?
More often than you win, especially on easy difficulty.
1P 336 - Expedition to Newdale
Q: Am I going to have to read the rules and then put a couple of the pieces up from here and there to get it all done?

Q: Do you want to tell us anything about yourself also, Chris, while you're here?
