From the manufacturer
Embark on your own adventures across J.R.R. Tolkien’s iconic world of Middle-earth as you and your friends become bold heroes working together to fight back against the dark forces threatening the land. You’ll battle villainous foes, make courageous choices, and strike a blow against the evil arrayed against you, all as a part of a thrilling campaign that leads you across the storied hills and dales of Middle-earth.
A free companion app guides you through each adventure and an entire campaign, freeing you and your companions to stand together as a single Fellowship and battle the darkness. The app fills each adventure with content from a host of possibilities, ensuring a unique experience every time you play and allowing you to leave your own mark on Middle-earth.
Build your own Fellowship from six bold heroes—including Aragorn, Gimli, and Bilbo—and use their unique skills and abilities to overcome challenges and confront Orcs, Goblins, and other vile creatures. Throughout your journeys, you’ll discover lost treasure, uncover forgotten lore, and unite against the shadow and corruption spread across the land.
Each hero is characterised by a unique deck of skill cards they use to ward off dangers and make progress in their adventures. Rather than leaving your fate up to the roll of the dice, you must carefully manipulate your deck, choosing which skills to use and which to save for the tests you face. Only by properly managing your skills can you hope to complete your quest.
Take on one of six roles with each new adventure to gain experience, hone your skills, and add new cards to your deck. You could become your Fellowship’s Captain, helping the party prepare for any situation. Or you could be a Hunter, attacking enemies for heavy damage. Ultimately, you determine how your character evolves over the course of your adventures.
From Gondor to the Grey Mountains, there’s no telling where your adventures could take you. Many journeys will see you exploring a selection of the game’s 22 journey map tiles where you confront threats and interact with the denizens of Middle-earth. Certain adventures, however, bring you to the battle map tiles for a more tactical experience. Whether you’re attacking an Orcish encampment or exploring the ruined remains of a great hall, you’ll draw upon all your skills to complete these missions.
During your travels, you’ll be brought face-to-face with marauding Orcs, towering Trolls, and darker enemies, all brought to life with the game’s 25 stunning enemy miniatures. The companion app also gives each of these enemies their own unique behavior, so as they hunt and attack, you’ll need to adapt your strategies to counter the monsters that you face.
With so much ground to cover and multiple side quests to unlock, every campaign will tell your own tale of adventure and heroism and, no matter what path you take, your adventures will culminate in a climactic finale where the fate of all the peoples of Middle-earth could be at stake. Gather your friends, pack your bags, and find your fortunes in Middle-earth!

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 May 2020Size Name: 1. Base GameStyle Name: 1. Base Game: Journeys in Middle-EarthPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseAlbeit a bit expensive, it is a great game to play for fans of Tolkien's middle earth. I play with my wife and can envisage roping my kids into it when they're old enough.
Seems to be enough playable characters and game variability (scenario maps randomness and story development based and success/failure of missions) for good replay value after while, and items acquisition and leveling up feel exciting. We've only played about 5 sessions,winning some and losing others, but already bought the expansion with extra minis and cards. We are playing the adventure mode, somewhat easier that allows exploring a lot more and gaining a lot more "experience" (lore for leveling up items), that's a better fit for friendly family gaming... We abandoned a "normal" mode campaign after getting upset because we failed 3 times in a row haha.
Does require a decent computer/device to run the app all the while you're playing it, it CANNOT be played without the companion app.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 June 2019Size Name: 1. Base GameStyle Name: 1. Base Game: Journeys in Middle-EarthPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseThe but is a minor one and I’ll get it out of the way first, the app while amazing requires an internet connection when starting, without it it’ll just crash out and close.
I travel around a lot and so won’t always have a connection especially if abroad so this could be a pain. As I said it’s a minor issue and certainly not enough to drop a score. (Edit* if you’re on limited data, you only need to have the internet available on startup, once assets have been acquired you can kill the connection)
Back to the game and if you’re familiar with FFGs way of rule making then you’ll fall into this game in no time at all recognising similar terminologies etc.
The game is played via the aforementioned app which sets the scenario and map out with easy to understand descriptions for you to set up the table, then it describes encounters and points of interest that you’ll need to investigate to further the game. All of the in box items are lovingly designed and presented so it’s a joy to see the map expand in partnership with the app.
Nothing is so buried in a series of manuals that it takes ages to make sense of and as said before it’s an FFG game so it’ll feel familiar at first glance.
Top marks to the team behind this and I highly recommend it as an addition to your tabletop arsenal.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 August 2021Size Name: 1. Base GameStyle Name: 1. Base Game: Journeys in Middle-EarthPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseTo be able to play this boardgame you will first need to download the free app for either your iOS , Android or pc. It does not work on a Amazon Kindle.
Components
Map cards are I think quite detailed and varied enough to make the game look good as it starts to sprawl out across your table.
The app says the fog area gives you a clue as to which way the map tiles will go in but you will need to leave space all around the tiles because all of a sudden 3 map tiles will be added where you have your other pieces to the game set up.
The cardstock for map tiles is ok but they do feel a little bit on the flimsy cheapside compared to other fantasy flight games I own , like Descent 2.
Figures
The figures are sturdy enough with enough detail for you to paint should you wish to do so.
They thankfully are not warped and bendy like some earlier FF games where you have to put them in hot water just so they don't look like they had too many beers.
Game play
The app tries to make out that each time you play you will have a different experience.
In some way , yes and other ways ,no.
Each time you play it will be excatly the same adventure but just with some random encounters along the way.
I found this to be a little boring like playing monopoly but shifting the name of the places about and telling me it's a new experience.
Yes, ok you do get random encounters but the game will punish you if you take too long to investigate them.
This is the games way of making sure it doesn't run out of random encounters to fast.
It's quite a heavy box and the artwork is good as is the artwork to the playing cards, though a fair bit has been reused from Lotr Lcg.
I given it 4 stars but rate it as a 3.6 for playability.
Less for value for money.
It's not worth £75 , I would put it around £55.
FF will use the app development cost as an excuse but really they already have the structure from other games for this and it does feel like a bolt on.
I don't mind app driven games especially for solo gaming.
It is an easy game to teach and learn I think.
It's an ok game but I don't feel like I'm playing a hero from lord of the rings, it could be just Bob the barbarian of Sid the Hobbit.
They could have been and should have been more epic in feel.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2020Size Name: 1. Base GameStyle Name: 1. Base Game: Journeys in Middle-EarthPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseFantasy Flight Games are just amazing, I was bought for my birthday last year the Fallout game made by fantasy flight and I simply could not stop playing it. (difficult to understand at first but once you understand its amazing). It is exactly the same with Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-Earth. This game is actually much easier to get to grips with and the app along side makes it so immersive. Just a brilliant game and I hope for many more DLCs to come expanding the journeys more and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must own for the Lord of the Rings fan
Size Name: 1. Base GameStyle Name: 1. Base Game: Journeys in Middle-EarthPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseOverall, Lord of the Rings (LOTR): Journeys in Middle Earth is a must own for LOTR fans. I have always wanted to get into a table top role playing game (RPG) for years (>10 years), but I could never convince my wife until LOTR Journeys in Middle Earth. Both of us love the franchise so that probably helped convince her to try it out.
First off, this app driven game is the game master so it doesn't require you to come up with a story or keep track of how much health enemies have; all of it is stored in the easy to use app (downloaded via Steam, Apple store, or Google store). The app tells you which map tiles to put down and where (including initial placement of enemies, various tokens, etc), and you simply place all of the physical pieces on your table to match the app. It is all interactive through your tablet or mouse (if you're using a computer) to select what you want to do. The app even saves your progress so if you can't finish a mission or adventure because it is getting late, you can save the game and come back to it (you'll just have to keep track of where your enemies are on the board). The app experience is so well done and it really facilitates the table top experience; however, I wish there was an "undo" function if you made a mistake after confirming an action.
The quality of the heroes/enemies, tiles, and cards are great. Also, there are separate character packs that you can buy as well (I own both of them).
The base campaign is made up of multiple adventures, and the game will tell you whether or not failing that particular adventure will cause you to fail the campaign. If you fail a mission that requires you to pass, you can just reset the adventure for that particular mission and replay it (didn't figure that out until 2nd playthrough).
You can easily play some adventures (adventures make up the campaign) for 2-3 of hours whereas some are quicker than others. It really depends on how much you strategize.
This is a role playing game, so you do upgrade your character/class and items throughout the campaign. Once again, the app stores all of this information for you and it is very easy to use.
The large booklet of instructions is easy to follow, but we did run into some instances that required us to search online for a solution to our dilemma.
I own both physical expansions and recently finished the Shadowed Paths expansion. I haven't played the Spreading War expansion yet, but I'd recommend getting Shadowed Paths for sure. I haven't purchased the digital expansions yet, but you can get them on Steam, apple store, or Google store. I will eventually purchase the digital expansions.
I would have liked to have seen more story lines included in the base game (maybe they could have included the digital expansions with the base game).
We absolutely love this game and hope more content will be developed for this game! Great family memories!
***We play a lot of different board games such as Betrayal at House on the Hill, Plunder: a pirates life, Castle Panic (with all expansions), Mansions of Madness (with expansions), Pandemic (with expansions), Ticket to Ride Europe, and many others.****

5.0 out of 5 stars My 2 cents
Size Name: 1. Base GameStyle Name: 1. Base Game: Journeys in Middle-EarthPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseLike a pre-done DNd LOTR campaign. You have several of the main characters from the movies. and the missions are fun. The inclusion of the app is interesting. The only thing that is worrisome is if the app ever goes under this game becomes almost unplayable. The card mechanism is different that your regular d20 which changes things up and makes it a little interesting. The miniatures look great and can easily become a miniature painting project too. Game turns take some getting used to but the game is generally easy to learn as long as you set it up properly.
This game can be played solo or up to 5 players i believe. It it always you vs the game, sop you work together or lose , which i find makes this game a very fun coop dnd tabletop board game.
