Culling The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game (And Why Play Marvel Champions Instead) SideGame LLC

Description provided by SideGame LLC on YouTube:

The time has come! A staple of the library and the second most expensive game in it has finally left! Join Mackenzie Franklin from SideGame LLC as he goes through his reasoning on culling The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. Like all our culling videos, we’ll also give a suggestion to replace it, and this time we’ve got quite the recommendation, Mackenzie’s current favorite board game of all time, Marvel Champions! What do you think of our decision to let go of The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game? Was getting rid of it the right choice? Have you tried Marvel Champions yet? Have you played both games? What do you think of the points we brought up here in the video? We’d love to hear what you think! SideGame Strong!
