Rick Swan reviewed Rangers of the North in The Space Gamer No. 75. [1] Swan commented that "considering how badly this could've been bungled, I.C.E. is to be commended for doing a bang-up job. And I'm betting we've yet to see the best. Until then, Rangers of the North ought to keep all would-be hobbits plenty happy." [1]
