So I wound up getting Khazad-Dum, Over/Under Hill, and Black Riders. I figure with that, the Coreset, and Hunt for Gollum, I'll have plenty to work with for a good long while.

Now I just have to get down the damned Anduin without dying...

You play Eldritch Horror so you are used to being punished by a game. That is good. My tips:

• Don't give up. I've had hero's die on turn 1 and still won in the end.
• Don't neglect threat management. Early on I always went for the most powerful heros but you need to balance that with threat management.

I started out with 1 core set, then bought another and the whole mirkwood cycle. I really enjoyed playing through the whole cycle, together they tell a story and are fun to play through. I often play with 3 or 4 players so the extra core set was good so everyone can have a threat tracker, plus everyone one wants multiple Gandalf's in their deck.

Just got The Black Riders this week. Trying it out tonight for the first time. Excited to try Saga!
