About this game

A companion app for the Journeys in Middle-earth board game from Fantasy Flight Games.

Embark on your own adventures in J.R.R. Tolkien’s iconic world with The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth, a fully-cooperative board game for one to five players! During every game, heroes must band together on a perilous adventure to battle powerful foes, discover lost treasures, uncover forgotten lore, and customize their skills according to their role within their Fellowship.

This companion app dictates the setup of each encounter, tracks your party’s inventory and skills, and resolves combat while you brave the looming forests, quiet clearings, and ancient halls of Middle-earth.

Ratings and reviews

The Board Game is Awesome!! But the App could definitely use some work... Specifically with the Ememy placement, I accidentally double clicked and completely missed where they were supposed to be placed... The app tracks health/status to a T but doesn't have any sort of location tracking?? That seems like a huge Flaw... not even a note in the game log, why even have a log if you dont notate everything? It literally just says enemy spawned... Anyways, the App works flawlessly other than that...

I had an glitch on my device with one aspect of one of the newer missions. I filled out a form on the fantasy flight website. Within 24 hours, not only did the developers respond but had programmed a new patch for the software! The game itself is fantastic; it's basically LoTR in a box. It provides great tactical adventures without being too fiddly (slowing down the game), and the components look fantastic. Before giving a bad review I would encourage anyone to contact FFG first.

The game is fun. However the save feature is almost useless in the middle of a game, as there is no way to view where enemies and characters were or note character status for later. Even just a "notes" section would be great. a BIG issue with the app:there is no go back or cancel if you hit the wrong button. You NEED to be able to undo a button push. You also cannot review an initial placement of some elements. If you miss it, you can never check. Still fun, but the app needs some improvement.
