LOTR is a game you wont like until you play 70 games - its like playing chess 5 times and saying this game sucks - until you understand it and form a strategy before you even plunge the ball, you will not like it. Once you understand the rules it makes other games seem like your just flipping around with no real purpose. For casual players LOTR is not the game to play

I didn't say he said it sucked, I said its like playing chess 5 times and saying it sucks (Chess)

Either which way as everyone seems to agree its not for everyone but it does take a lot of time before you really can enjoy all its depth, for me its a game Im thinking three shots ahead of what Im doing - I only play few games a night of it then move on to something like BSD to get my butt kicked

The path of the dead, although is not entirely exciting is actually a very important part of the game, if you can nudge the ball at the right time and get it to drop back down to the tower this can be a good strategy, also keeping it from just rolling down by nudging off the posts will increase your souls.

A lot of people don't realize its counting up as well as the adding rollover switches

took me awhile to realize its counting up - so longer the ball is up there more souls. I guess you need to look up every once in awhile
