Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!

WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting on it. End your first post in this thread with the title of the game you're placing a bet on (i.e. voting for) so its clear to me when reading it later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. Counting expansions or not is entirely up to you just as playing with them or not is. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.

Several people have requested Knizia's Lord Of The Rings co-op in the Dome so here it is. I worry an anti-Euro bias will kill it before it before it leaves the locker room though.

But I haven't even seen Middle Earth Quest - and because it has got pretty decent reviews and is basically Sauron against the rest I feel I can't really (for once) vote for a game I like without having seen the opposition.
I'm a disgrace.
EDIT: Ken has balls - where have mine gone ?!! I do know MEQ had shitty figures that arrived broken ... I'll try and find (raise) some more negatives so I can feel fine about throwing rocks at MEQ.

Not only the best and most thematic Knizia but a great game. One of the must-haves for me; up with Settlers etc. in terms of legendariness and staying power.
A little too soon to tell for MEQ, really.

LOTR may be the better game, but I would rather play MEQ

I enjoy playing Lord of the Rings, it's a decent game, and it is great with the Sauron expansion as it increases the difficulty
I'd be happy to hear whatever tips you have for beating Lord of the Rings. In my opinion anyone who thinks LOTR needs to be harder is out of their Smeagol minds. Despite playing it a dozen times, I have yet to dunk the ring.

The best co-op game ever versus a semi-playable, 12-pages-too-long, 78-pound exercise in component worship.
Vote: LORD OF THE RINGS.

Clearly the game must be broken!

So I should just remove the event tiles from the game?

It will be broken soon. Watch out LOTR! I'm coming for you.

Both games are way overrated.
One is a retheme of Arkham Horror, except with a player taking over
The other is Knizia's mechanical co-op that features 3rd grade level artwork and, in the words of Ubarose, "A game that takes the epic story of the Fellowship and reduces it to, 'We need feet. Anyone got feet?'" And you can throw in exciting expansions that come in spreadsheet form (Battlefields?).
But at least MEQ is fun.
