FFG Preview Gandalf For LotR The Card Game Expansion!
August 7, 2014 by brennon
The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, as well as being hard, is also very rewarding once you delve into the various adventures and quests that Fantasy Flight Games continue to churn out at a steady pace. One of the latest, The Road Darkens, also brings a hero version of Gandalf to the table and he's awesome!
As you might have guessed The Road Darkens takes you down into the depths of Moria alongside the Fellowship and you're going to need a guide. Gandalf knows the way...he just follows his nose.
As you can see he is quite the mighty hero with good questing, fight and defence and he also counts as all three spheres of influence so you won't be short of ways to pay for cards! He also comes with some great attachments like his staff which is a great aid. When things look grim you can also bring out Flame of Anor to blast away the biggest of foes.
A good addition to your own Fellowship?

Am not too sure tbh
On the one hand …
YAAAY! Gandalf!
On the other I like how he would come and go in the hand as an ally.
(Why did that sound so wrong?)
I will try and keep it thematic and just use Hero Gandalf for those parts of the narrative gameplay where he is more constantly involved
If that makes sense
Good stats balanced by a high threat cost.
Am sure it will be cool and look forward to getting the Saga quest at some point
