Fantasy Flight 4th Ed. For new or occasional gamers, it is an ideal introduction to fantasy gaming. If youve seen The Lord of the Rings movies, this is all understandable. It starts off a little like Monopoly, roll the dice, move around, collect things. But then as you get into it, the wide variety of adventures and events starts to take over, so few games are like any other. And even as an advanced, regular gamer, there is the lure of trying to master it, to grasp every possible combination and win the game regardless of what the Fates throw at you from those randomly shuffled events decks. Plus, it looks great and its all made of real high quality materials. And because, well, we tried to think of everything -- hell, we even put loads of dice in so you dont always have to go scrabbling for a six-sider hidden amongst the discard decks when its your go.[Click for More Info]
