I've played the game maybe 5 or 7 times since it was released. I don't own a copy, but more than one friend does. I totally agree about its replayability. I also like how it plays differently with different numbers of players.

And, I also agree on different tactics. In this last game we just jammed across Mordor without bothering with any of the secondary lines, which I'd never seen before.

But, I just don't agree that the game is that well tied to the world. Maybe our players just aren't creative enough, but my general experience is that no one every notices what card they play, just what icons they have of what type, and that defeats much of the purpose of the cards representing specific things.
