Just starting the game and followed other people’s recommendations. Excellent podcast. Worth your time.

I discovered this podcast and their associated discord server shortly after getting into the lord of the rings card game. This podcast is absolutely amazing for learning about the game and coordinating the community, which itself is best of breed. The only downside is the frequent talk of hunting. I do my best to fast forward the segments where they’re talking about murdering animals, though.

I just got the game in April of 2022 and this podcast is amazing for reliving the life cycle of the game. Amazing that the podcast is still going after more then 10 years. Such a wonderful game and this podcast makes play it a lot easier. Thank you and keep making more shows

Older shows are great too if you have not caught up!

This podcast is great for anyone playing or interested in playing Lord of the Rings LCG.

Kind of a let down. I have to wade through alot of chatter. Jared, the Australian, is the only one with solid deck building tips while the host seems to steer the overcrowded conversation as best he can. *update Went from “meh” to “ha!”

The first 122 episodes were fantastic. Great charisma and charm from Brandon (who really carried the show), the cohosts changed some but overall were outclassed by the Canadian sensation that was Brandon. After episode 111 it does take a gentle turn towards the end and it came as no surprise to me that 122 marked the ‘end’ of the show. The new hosts are vanilla ice cream compared to the 31 flavors of Baskin Robbins we had before. Chris is a great player and has the best insight but listening to him correct Chads incorrect assumptions about how cards work or game mechanics got old real quick. I slogged through it and am current as of ep 149 but it has been more out of my insanity for completion than enjoyment for the show. For me the eps past 123 are more about mining for Chris’s nuggets of game logic. Am still giving 5 stars because the first 122 deserve it, after that...2.

These guys are: 1) Entertaining; 2) Knowledgeable; and 3) Properly focused on their topic. This is a rare hat trick in podcasts these days - but they pull it off. I listen faithfully - and always crack up at Brandon. (I think that's his name). He's funny - but never in an overbearing way. The other guys round things put well. Good stuff! Keep em coming - and I'll keep downloading.

I have enjoyed this podcast from the beginning. I don't get to play the game that often so I appreciate having this podcast to keep up with the new cards.

These guys are fun and loaded with information. They are extremely knowledgeable about this LCG and their love for the game is infectious.

This a great group of different personalities. It's very entertaining. Two big thumbs up!

I look forward to hearing this podcast each and every time they release a new episode. From the humor to the insights and opinions it's a great way to make my commute more enjoyable. Thanks CoTR!

Perfect lotr lcg podcast

I already feel a sense of familiarity with these hosts. I specially enjoy that they are so passionate about this wonderful game.

This podcast needs to be marked explicit. The humor and language is not family friendly. The hosts ramble and too frequently go on tangents. The podcast is much too long for what its trying to achieve. The hosts need to understand the rules and the cards they are reviewing much better. Most of their off the cuff observations about the game are just wrong.

After purchasing LotR:The Card Game I immediately searched out a podcast. To my surprise, I found one; 8 episodes in already. These guys know the game and they know the cards. Their chemistry as hosts works really well; both with a good sense of humor. The show's format flows well and they put time into the show. Good sound quality and well spoken. I caught up on every episode in 2 days because the show was so interesting. If you are a fan of the game and actively play, you'll love this podcast. -zombiemailman

This podcast is great so far. I'm interested to see how it continues to develop as more expansions are released. If you are interested in The Lord of the Rings The Card Game you owe it to yourself to listen.
