First Impressions: LOTR: The Card Game

I've played the new Lord of the Rings living card game a couple times now.  My first impression is that it's very much like Space Hulk: Death Angel... You have a few location cards that you need to push through, while dealing with a line up of baddies who are coming at you relentlessly.  There's a similar feeling of trying to maximize the abilities you have in order to eke out the best chance you have of surviving.  The difference is that as opposed to having a fixed group of space marines in Space Hulk: Death Angel, in Lord of the Rings: The Card Game you have a small group of heroes and can bring in other allies, and add on weapons and enact events that will help you out.  In that sense, I'd say that Lord of the Rings: The Card Game (LOTR) has more depth and potentially more replayability, and there will definitely be more support in terms of upcoming expansions and scenarios, a few of which have already been announced.
