Wow ok people were not kidding when they said this game was hard.Very first game EVER for my girlfriend and I.
We were using the 30 card starter decks (yes I know..) I took Green and she took Red.
I used Denethor and Glorfindel she used Gimli and Thalin. As I read it you do NOT have to use all 3 heroes its 1-3.
First turn draw on the encounter deck: Chieftain Ufthak
Future draws (we were dead by turn 4) Ungoliant Spawn
Caught in a web
Dol Guldur Orcs
Then about 4 locations in a row in the staging area. Our threat was easily at 7 each turn in the staging area. Gimli and Thalin took out the orcs but Glorfindel was killed by Ungoliant Spawn and Denethor was caught in a web
Long story short: 4 turns, our threat was at 43 each, I was out Glorfindel and we did not get one progress token out
You all were not kidding...
So are 3 heroes reallllly needed? Seems so. Our attempt to keep threat low and sneak by locations did not work!
