Here is a compilation of my comments on the scenario, note that they were made some time ago and I have not edited them much so they tell a story of how my view point changed (but my current opinion may differ). They are presented chronologically in each section.
[Session Reports]
- Hunt for Gollum is an interesting scenario with a distinct flavor then the ones found in core set. Great addition to the game.
- This scenario seems to scale best from the ones that I tried. It will be equally hard for different number of players (note: this is based on my feel as I only tried it solo)
- I like the flow of the scenario it is paced quite well.
[General Thoughts]
- This time I discovered that at times it is hard to keep all the rules/effects straight (your own cards, staging area, quest cards) - this affects mostly solo players. Despite the fact I tried to concentrate on all those thighs I am sure missed one or two effects.
- I have not tried the players cards from Hunt for Gollum but based on the scenario alone I am recommending it to all players.
- Using cards from two core sets gives your ("tournament legal") deck a huge boost.
Nov 2012 comment: Ultimately it seems that scenario is forgettable. I do not feel any urge to return to it after playing so many others. I did liked to read my comments from the past though at it seems that at the time it was a fun one so I would still recommend it if you like to play in order of release.
