MEQ is an enjoyable game. Both times I have played it - it has been a challenge and I was 100% absorbed. Of course it is probably a bit easier for Sauron to get absorbed than the heroes based on the two plays I have been involved in. There is potential for downtime on the Hero side if they don't want to spend time coordinating with each other - and also during the fights (the rules state you can't show your cards to the other players during a fight and you must do it alone - however I allowed it during our session as at least it helps with downtime).
Kingsburg expansion: If you enjoy the base game this certainly adds to variety and choices. IMHO a must have IF the game will be played on a regular basis. Tales of the Arabian Knights: I vote on the enjoyable side - however this is DUE to its story nature. This game is unique and works really well with people that don't feel they are up to the skill level of others around the table as there really isn't much of a way to WIN through good play in this game. You choose options and see what happens. It is more played for the experience than for the winning. It certainly isn't for everyone (certainly not APs or those that feel they need to have control in a game). But for certain people this works great.
