So I have played some games (pandemic, CV, Some Magic many years ago (Tempest through urza's legacy)).
I got LotR LCG and a couple expansion decks. I like it but, this game is sooo hard. I can make a deck that will get me through the first encounter deck, but after that the encounter deck fucks my ass up... what do?
Most of the encounter decks are balanced around having two players. Get a friend to play with you and run complementary decks like spirit/tactics. Even then you will still get your ass kicked half the time because a cooperative game like this HAS to be hard to keep things interesting.

I have thought of playing 2 decks at once. I think part of the fun is how hard it is. but dam, 50% win at best?

The older MECCG is way better.
This game has taught me that I suck at card games. I can't even get through the first scenario with a mono deck (or two mono decks). There's so much threat that I can't wait until later, then so much combat that I can't commit enough to the quest or else one or more hero is going to get his shit kicked in.

Single-player is more difficult than multi-player.
