learning made fun

My husband and I are musicians and we homeschool our 3 kids. This games is a great way to teach theory and have fun!! Also epic customer service when our order was delayed.

I ordered this game as a gift for a work mate. It arrived in good order and he is ecstatic!

Love it! the learning curve is a bit high because there is ALOT of info to absorb, but we started with the easiest form of the game. I got all our 4 teenagers/young adult children arguing the merits of their theory skills during the game! looking forward to having my studio students play this game alongside their theory lessons. Sincerely, Carol Man Lee, Temple City, CA

Kids loved it! Great gift for college aged music students!

I got to be honest. I have no idea what this game is about. But my son who is pursuing his master's in music at Carnagie Mellon loves it. He and his girlfriend (also a musician)' have stayed up and played it half a dozen times in the few weeks since he received it for his birthday. Also I'd like to say the customer service is very responsive. There was a bit of a mix up at shipping and the support team promptly squared things away. If you or someone you know is a music fan I highly recommend.

Lord of the Chords: The Complete Edition

I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but all the pieces are of good quality and everything was there.

Great game, fun to play and good for theory concepts (specifically for reinforcing chord structures and key signatures). While those with theory knowledge have a bit of an edge, even someone who hasn't done much theory can join in, as there is enough information to support that,. My brother never did much theory and he enjoyed playing with us. Highly recommend.

I got it as a late birthday gift and I absolutely love it! Can't wait for the quarantine to be over so we can all play together. Staff was also great, I guess the first time it was shipped, it got lost in the mail so they sent another one. So it took 2 months for it to arrive and I'm not disappointed. Worth the wait!

We have played this game a LOT in our family (1 piano teacher, 1 college music major, 1 beginning guitarist) and have had a blast. I love the strategy and the sneaky way you can absorb more music theory knowledge.

Got Lord of Chords game for our daughter who is a band director and it was a big hit! Its a visual feast with the beautiful graphics and well made game pieces, but the real beauty here is the creative way that music theory is woven into the game along with some terrific puns and very clever angles to the game. Takes some brain power to play, and those who know some music theory will likely enjoy it more than those who don't, but even non musicians will get the hang of it. Music geeks will be all over this game! Our daughter can't wait to play it with her music teacher colleagues. This one's all thumbs up!

My entire family loved playing this game!!!!

My previous review stated that I had not yet received my game around 2 months after ordering it. Apparently COVID had a significant impact on shipping, but thankfully it DID arrive a couple days later. Fun game, great novelty box, happy with my purchase.

I am so happy to edit this review! The game finally arrived after COVID-related shipping issues. I bought it as a gift for my musician/music theory professor partner. He is already figuring out ways to use it in his classes.

The puns built into the game, including the rule book, are hysterical!

The quality of the game pieces, cards, case, and packaging are top notch.

This game has everything! Fun, excitement, music theory! Just a Fun-nomenal experience all around.

Also a big thank you to Jun and the wonder customer support! They really went above and beyond. Any amazing game and an amazing company.

I have played this game countless times over the past weeks and it never ceases to be interesting, fun, exciting, and educational. There are no other games like it or even close. By far it has been amazing to play and teach to others.

I saw this online and thought it might be a fun game, it most definitely is! Our family has played it several times, and despite my wife groaning at the beginning that she wasn’t a musician- she very quickly started using musical jargon with ease. We started easy and have been slowly adding in rules. The modular aspect of this game makes it look like it will be a long time before we get board of it. The expansion packs are next level and should add in a entirely new fun component once we have mastered the base level.

With the COVID madness, we had issues with shipping- but the email response was kind and amazing. The problems were solved in no time with no hassle. I highly recommend this product. Great game made by great people!

Beaucoup de plaisir à jouer à ce jeu entre amis! Je le recommande à n’importe qui.

I bought this because I recently started playing guitar and could not grasp musical theory. Its a pretty fun game, and you do get introduced to music theory concepts

Lord of the Chords: The Complete Edition

MY brother was one of the original crowd funders and his name is in the booklet that comes with the game. I played it with him and my daughter when we visited at Christmas and had not heard of it until then. We are both music teachers and when lockdown is over and we are able to teach our students face to face again, this game is going to get a lot of play and a whole load of new fans as well as my music friends who are equally excited about a game designed just for us. Cannot wait!!!!

Very happy to put my Kickstarter edition into this more traditional package -- helps keep my games organized and the big logo does make friends ask "What's that?" And that means we play with them to show them! :)

We had a great time playing Lord of the Chords. The gameplay works even for people that don’t know about harmony - although more musical knowledge does help you spot things quickly, so it’s an incentive to learn and notice things. It’s stuffed full of many very silly puns that’ll make you giggle. It’s also beautifully presented and looks gorgeous. I’m pleased with it.

I love this game. I'm teaching my teenage son about music using this game! He loves it! Thank you!

Lord of the Chords: The Complete Edition

It’s a really well thought through game, good gameplay, beautifully presented with a lot of humour too. Too good to feel like it's “educational” (but it is)!

The box was beautifully, gloriously empty. As ordered. And vacuum sealed. An unexpected surprise. As was the repeat email to write a review ;)

I’m an adult music learner and have been trying to learn music theory for some time. This definitely makes that study a lot more fun.

Hi, do you have a video to show how to play the game? Thanks

Loved the Kickstarter so much that I bought LOTC for my friends! Pun-i-licious entertainment for music lovers. Well played, game creators, well played.

Playing a game means to want some fun! What if you can also learn from the game?! It would be a value-added thing. One of the advantages of this game is the design of creating music chords which allows players to understand and remember how to build a proper chord. Build three chords and you will be the lord of the chords! It is not only a board game for fun but a board game serving educational purpose :) I believe music lovers would connect with it and music teachers would love to use it to teach their students chords! Thanks~

I certainly love to geek out in musical theory and the gameplay in Lord of the Chords definitely favours opportunity to do this in advanced ways. But people can play the game in both simple and advanced forms, so it is versatile and great all round with a lot of fun... And puns!

Sideways liked music, but was weak on theory. Having so much fun with this. My wife is too, and the theory world is all new to her. Thanks!

Played this game with our High School band director, he loved it

The whole family is playing this addictive game. only one of us knows anything about music theory but we are learning quickly because we all want to be Lord of the Chords! So many puns and cheesy graphics, it's hilarious.
