This has been a rather productive month for the blog and a good month for the community as well since there was quite a bit of news to enjoy during the month. The announcement of the repackaged LOTR Sagas did not come as a surprise, but it is nice that we at least have a … Continue reading Month in Review: July 2022
When the Against the Shadow cycle was first released, many players were stomped by the great difficulty of the scenarios compared to previous cycles. But then, along came Encounter at Amon Din: an easy scenario that most players are able to beat in under 5 turns without too much trouble. It still ranks as one … Continue reading Nightmare Encounter at Amon Din
The following article was written by TheChap, which many of you will know from hosting the Cardboard of the Rings podcast and being one of the brave souls carrying forward a complete progression series on the podcast's Youtube channel. I approached him forever ago to explain all about his unique way of storing his cards. … Continue reading Storage solutions: TheChap
Summer tends to be the season of conventions, at least for me. And for LOTR LCG, it was always the time that FFG released their special scenario pack at GenCon. But since the hiatus, their attention has shifted away from the game more and more. On top of that, not everyone is comfortable to go … Continue reading Announcement: LOTR LCG Completion Weekend

This quest has a special place on the blog, as it was the very first article ever released that was not written by me. Bgamerjoe took up the challenge when I asked around the community all those years ago and created a pretty solid analysis of the quest. Still, in order to bring this quest … Continue reading Conflict at the Carrock
Nightmare Calamari 🐙Durinsfather, when I told him I would cover this article Being one of the most Pirates of the Caribbean-like quests in the Pirates of the Caribbean cycle, The Thing in the Depths has always been intriguing to me. First, a quick and messy battle against the corsairs you pursued, then a more drawn-out … Continue reading Nightmare The Thing in the Depths
It's hard to believe that the year is already halfway done! So much has happened this year already that I really hope the second half will be more relaxed, but we'll see. June has been an interesting month for the game, as we received our first set of repackaged cycle content. The Angmar Awakened cycle … Continue reading Month in Review: June 2022
Lore is a fickle thing. When in Middle-Earth's history is this siege supposed to happen? That is a question one might ask when looking at this scenario: After all, Annúminas is never a place of action in Tolkien's main stories. After some research, I think I have been able to develop a decent thesis on … Continue reading The Siege of Annúminas
I have made it no secret that this is one of my least favorite quests in the game. It punishes players hard for playing cards, having resources, and also not having resources. In multiplayer, the quest can start with 30 points of Archery at the start of the game, and the switch to Siege questing … Continue reading Nightmare The Drúadan Forest
