Got this for Christmas. It really looks amazing, with very Tolkien-esque art, and even the rules text has a lovely lyrical quality reminiscent of the books. Character motivations are embedded into the game mechanics, and each group of players is a fellowship with important relationships to each other. I’ll probably spend the next couple of days digging into it to become familiar with the rules. I also see myself re-reading Tolkien’s fiction sometime soon.
