This rulebook was easy to read and easy to consult when we had questions. There’s even a FAQ per chapter that crosses to the last page. It’s only 8 pages! It starts off with a component overview and set-up: The game is pretty decent, although I wish the cards were linen-finished: After playing all the way the game twice, I think the cards really should be sleeved! So, my main component issue is that the cards either need to be sleeved or be better quality. Weirdly, we don’t have to punch out any tokens: they all come prepunched! So, it’s cheaper to unpunch tokens than put shrink wrap on a box? This seems a weird tradeoff to me, but what the hey: it’s easier to unbox when everything’s unpunched already! The Adventure Book is very cool and has thick cardboard:Īnd there’s not a lot in here: some cards, some minis and some tokens. It’s smaller than the standard Ticket TO Ride size box (see above with Coke Can for scale), but it’s the same size as the The Princess Bride Adventure Book Game we reviewed some time ago. It looks weird, but that’s the way other games from Target ( Disney Sidekicks, The Princess Bride, others) have been! I suspect there’s no shrink wrap to save money. Note: No shrink wrap on the game: the edges are all plastic sticker shut. We’ve had some amazing luck with cooperative games from Target over the past year: Minecraft: Portal Dash, Horizons of Spirit Island, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars Pandemic! Let’s take a look and see if this game lives up to the Target hype! Unboxing This came from Target, and I believe this is a Target exclusive. I ordered this online (from Target) in late January and it just got to my house yesterday (Feb 27th, 2023): I believe it was just released. Lord of the Rings: Adventure Book Game is a cooperative game for 1-4 Players, Ages 10+, set in the world of Lord of the Rings.
