Oct. 11th, 2002 01:34 pmSo, on Wednesday night we played the Lord of the Rings boardgame with the Sauron expansion. For those who haven't seen the game, it's a cooperative game where the two to five players take the role of Hobbits trying to hike the Ring into Mordor and destroy it before they become corrupted by Sauron. The cooperative nature of the game is pretty cool, although it can sometimes devolve into overly complex multiplayer solitaire. I like it.
The Sauron expansion adds one player who gets to be Sauron and try to beat those pesky Hobbits into submission, through the use of more cards to do unpleasant things to them, and also the Black Rider, who makes them lose if he gets back to Mordor after finding the Ring-Bearer. Upshot: excellent, excellent expansion. Better than Friends and Foes (the previous expansion). Makes the game significantly longer, though.
