It's not my favorite, but it's fun. One thing to note is that the entire game is run via an app on a tablet or phone. It narrates and tells you how to set up each map from the available tiles, and all combat is done via this app.

Last I checked, there is no way to transfer your game to another device. Your saved game is stuck to that particular device, period. I personally don't like being forced to use the app to play a game. If you lose your device...game gone. If you need to reset your device...game gone. Upgrading phone...game gone.

Again, it was fun, but be aware of the mandatory app requirements to play. Hope this helps.
Heads up that the app is also available on PC and supports Steam Cloud so those saves are automatically uploaded and synced to the cloud.

So you could use a laptop, or Stream off a PC using the Steam Link app. The system requirements are simply PC that can run Windows, so any computer will do.
Thanks for pointing this out as I was about to purchase it. I don't purchase mandatory app assisted games for many reasons.

Great game, but clunky at first. Lots to remember like abilities on cards, when you can use items, and what actions you took as the app doesn't keep a checklist of your turn.

We port to a TV via app cast so everyone can see it and designated one person to run the game. It works well.

There are also extension missions in app, plus other standalone expansions to make the game even more exciting.

This is a good deal for the base game! I got mine last year for about $70. Worth it if you like LoTR and coop games like Gloomhaven, Andor, or Pandemic.

Me and my buddies are playing this now, and the app recently had an update to use an Asmo Connect account to allow cloud saves and to be able to use them cross platform.

Thx for letting me know. Haven't pulled this one off the shelf in while, maybe it's time.
