It has been a while since the latest overview of a Nightmare scenario, but since I picked up the entire first cycle in Nightmare mode, I thought I might as well try and bring you all another one of these. The Dead Marshes has been a quest that is easy to forget for most players, … Continue reading Nightmare The Dead Marshes
During the tournament in 2018 that determined the community's favourite quests at that moment, Journey along the Anduin ended in fifth place. This Core Set classic has always been a community darling, since it was the first proper challenge that we collectively faced. While the Nightmare version did increase the difficulty of the quest, the … Continue reading Journey Up the Anduin
The heroes continue their journey northward to Rivendell, escorting Arwen to visit her father Elrond. But the road is long, and Orcs ambush the party along the way. With enemies hounding the heroes’ steps, the weather drives the party ever closer to the looming mountains, and the dangers they hold. Even after the journey in … Continue reading Player card review: Road to Rivendell
Much like last year, I decided back in November that I would do another tournament style poll. This time I wanted to know what the community's favourite hero was, since there was little use in doing another scenario competition like last year as not a lot of new quests were released between now and then. … Continue reading Monthly Poll: December 2019

Arwen wishes to visit her father Elrond, and Celeborn has bid the heroes to escort her over the Misty Mountains and safely to Rivendell. But the season grows late, and a sudden chill has descended on the three peaks that guard the Redhorn pass. Ready for hard climbing and severe frost in the middle of … Continue reading Player card review: The Redhorn Gate
With Living Card Games such as this one, you know exactly what you are getting in your expansions. No boosters, no 50 copies of the same Keen Eyed Took that you are never going to play, just the cards that you want. I love this format and prefer it over the CCG or TCG formats. … Continue reading Collectables in LOTR LCG
Sometimes, a secondary trait on cards can go around unnoticed until that trait suddenly gets some development. Such was the case with the Creature trait, which had no synergy at all until the end of the Ered Mithrin cycle. While a large subset of creatures have their own synergy, the Eagles, it is important to … Continue reading Creatures

I will start with a list of all the decks in links to their articles: The Fords of Isen: Watchers … Continue reading Deckbuilding in the Ringmaker-cycle
