Two Men and a RIng – Peter and Will Play the Board Game Classic, War of the Ring!

✇The Esoteric Order of Gamers

One does not simply walk into Mordor.

Peter and Will are back with their most famous style of battle report – a War of the Ring one! Beer, laughs and banter ensue.

One day, when the Esoteric Order of Gamers finally comes to its natural end and all about it and concerning it is forgotten, one thing may be remembered – the battle report videos documenting games of War of the Ring between myself and my old gaming buddy, Will. It‘s been quite a while since I’ve had the opportunity to film one, but the day has finally arrived! So grab yourself your beverage of choice, get comfortable someplace where you won’t be interrupted by any non-gamer who just might not understand, relax, and enjoy this hugely fun new session of my favourite board game, War of the Ring!

January 2026 Monthly Debrief Video – The Lord of the Rings

The January 2026 Monthly Debrief Video, which is the 1st episode in Season 6 of this series, saw us discussing the games of The Lord of Rings. We both love the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings Series including The Hobbit and other books such as The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. As we thought about this topic, we were very surprised by the number of games set in Middle Earth and were quite excited to share them.

Also, as usual, we covered the games we played in January, as well as the games we plan to play in February.

We will remind you here that we are fortunate to be continuing our relationship with Noble Knight Games as the sponsor for our Monthly Debrief Video series. In case you don’t know, Noble Knight Games specializes in hard to find games but also carry all the new releases. But what makes them truly unique is that you can find some of the rarest games, long out of print games, hand made games, imported games from overseas, etc. Thanks to them for their sponsorship and we hope that you will consider them first when looking for the games we cover.

✇Player Elimination

Somewhere, Matt Leacock is walking around, chained to a big goose as gold as the sun. For the love of God, someone let this man design something other than Pandemic. Not today. While not betrayed on the cover, The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship is described as a Pandemic System game. And…
