Late of the Rings

A podcast is never late, nor is it early, it arrives precisely when it means to. A new podcast for an old game: Lord of the Rings The Card Game (LCG). A lighthearted yet informative exploration of the game we adore. Featuring discussion on cards & quests, our various adventures in and out of Middle-earth, as well as offering advice for new players and veterans alike.

"Late of the Rings" is definitely my most cherished podcast about Lord of the Rings LCG an one of the top 3 podcasts I have subscribed to. John and Em make every show special with their good humour, their intensive discussions of oh so many aspects of the game and their love for LotR LCG. This episode gives an introduction to the podcast and the game. The hosts recreate the introduction to the game, starting with the core set cards and the first adventures that new players would also start with.
