Watch “Elves of Lorien | Unboxing & Review of a Starter Deck for The Lord of the Rings The Card Game by FFG,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Always Board Never Boring on YouTube:

Always Board Never Boring managed to grab a copy of the Elves of Lorien Starter Deck for The Lord of the Rings The Card Game. As he is finding this game a lot of fun, he has decided to unbox this starter deck and share his thoughts. Oh, and please note - ABNB is still very new to this game, so his analysis of some cards, and why he does or does not like them, may be somewhat superficial at this stage. Massive shout out to the website Hall of Beorn. This website has been very useful helping ABNB decide which products he might want to buy next, and it contains scans of all the cards. You can check out Hall of Beorn here: https://hallofbeorn.com/LotR/Products And here are your time stamps: 00:00 Intro 00:45 Expanding the core game 01:45 Elves of Lorien overview 04:22 How many unique cards? 06:10 Sleeving 06:27 Deck overview 06:38 Heroes 08:23 Allies 09:58 Attachments 11:11 Events 12:10 Additional cards 14:41 The trouble with Mendor 15:58 Final thoughts #lordoftherings #lotr #elvesoflorien Become an ABNB club member by clicking the join button under the video or by using this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAQolUw4ytGVJpjIXlqSnWw/join You can make a one-time donation to the channel using the Super Thanks button under each video (it looks like a heart) or by making a donation to the channel using the following link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/AlwaysBoard You can shop using the Element Games affiliate link (UK).
