Check them out at https://youtube.com/thebrothersmurph Want to buy this game? Get it here (Lords) https://amzn.to/3sXKoRt and here (Warriors) https://amzn.to/3Nz693u and it'll kick back a few bucks to me (or go to your friendly local game store, that's cool too) 0:00 - Intro 1:39 - Important Info 2:06 - Lords Overview and Setup 3:10 - Alternate Companions and Shadow Action Tokens 4:14 - Special Dice Basics 4:54 - Keepers of the Elven Rings 5:45 - Special Dice Symbols 6:25 - New Elven Ring Abilities 7:06 - Lesser Minions 8:30 - Alternate Mouth and Witch King 9:19 - Sméagol 11:18 - Warriors Overview and Setup 12:06 - Faction Cards 13:20 - Faction Dice 14:10 - Recruiting Factions and Common Rules 15:08 - Call to Battle 16:00 - Dead Men of Dunharrow 17:14 - Eagles of the Misty Mountain 17:54 - Ents of Fangorn 19:00 - Corsairs of Umbar 20:09 - Hillmen of Dunland 21:09 - Broods of Shelob Corrections: At 6:45 I say that Nenya can cancel any standard hunt tile, but she can actually only cancel standard Eye results. At 19:46 I say that Corsairs can't normally move with Shadow armies, but that's not true. They can move with them, provided the army is moving to a space that's legal for Corsairs to be in.

About War of the Ring: Lords of Middle-earth, from BoardGameGeek:

Game description from the publisher: What if the Keepers of the Elven Rings had used their Rings of Power to challenge the might of the Dark Lord? What if the Balrog had risen out of Moria to bring fire and fury to the lands of the Free Peoples? What if the Council of Elrond had decided differently regarding the Fellowship of the Ring? With Lords of Middle-earth, the first expansion for the War of the Ring (second edition) board game, players may explore these possibilities together with many other ones to create fresh gaming opportunities and new strategies. Important personalities, previously featured in the game only through Event Cards, are represented by specific figures and rules. New Characters include Elrond, Galadriel, Sméagol, Gothmog, and the powerful Balrog of Moria, as well as alternate versions of Gandalf, the Witch-king, and the Mouth of Sauron. New special Action Dice are included: Elven Ring Keepers dice for the Free Peoples player and Lesser Minion dice for the Shadow player. New versions of all the Companions of the Fellowship of the Ring are also included, to play the optional "Council of Rivendell" rules. As an added bonus, figures for Aragorn and Gandalf the White are provided, accessories to the game that fans have been eagerly awaiting! This is your chance to forge the destiny of an age...
