Third year anniversary

With these turbulant times, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of time. Just a few days ago I realised that January was already approaching its end, which means that the blog turns 3 years old today! It is hard to imagine that I have already been publishing articles and commiting so much time to … Continue reading Third year anniversary →

Nightmare Into the Pit

Classic Into the Pit is one of my favorite testing quests for new decks. It combines having to explore some locations in the first stage, with a combat focused second stage, so your deck has to do well at both. On top of that, the encounter deck has a large selection of horrible cards, ranging … Continue reading Nightmare Into the Pit →

2020: A year in numbers

Now don't worry, we won't be talking about spreadsheets of active cases in your area or anything, this article will only contain graphs and spreadsheets that are relevant to the blog and my personal games that I have played this year. I do this every year, so I can compare statistics between years and see … Continue reading 2020: A year in numbers →

Month in Review: December 2020

This is it, the final month of a year that lasted a lifetime. While there is a light at the end of this tunnel, I hope that end will come soon so that things may return to normal in the new year. I will only briefly talk about this month for the game and the … Continue reading Month in Review: December 2020 →

Escape from Dol Guldur

Completing our trifecta of Core Set quests, we have Escape from Dol Guldur. This quest comes with a warning from the entire veteran community to new players: Skip this quest and go back to it later when your card pool has expanded. This quest can be brutal with just Core Set decks and still proves … Continue reading Escape from Dol Guldur →

Monthly Poll: December 2020

This month's poll ended a little earlier, as the upcoming holidays don't allow me enough time to work on the article, so I might as well push it out now. Over the past month, I have polled what scenarios from the Vengeance of Mordor cycle are your favorite. I have done this for every cycle … Continue reading Monthly Poll: December 2020 →

First Impressions: The Hunt for the Dreadnaught

I received my copy of Hunt for the Dreadnaught last week, and having played the quest a few times now, I have decided to bring back the First Impressions series one last time before we enter the hiatus. This quest is rather unique, plus the pack came with an additional contract, so I want to … Continue reading First Impressions: The Hunt for the Dreadnaught →

A long-extended Party

You hear it often that this community is the best there is on the internet. For those that need proof of this, I present you with the AleP (A long-extended Party) project. This idea was spearheaded by Seastan back in September 2019 when it was announced that the game would go on a hiatus after … Continue reading A long-extended Party →

LOTR LCG: Art-icle

There are often moments on podcasts where the hosts are discussing cards and take 5 minutes to gush over the art on an audio podcast. While that format doesn't work well with art, I'm happy that the blog format of this site works a lot better. So let me take this time to highlight some … Continue reading LOTR LCG: Art-icle →

Month in review: November 2020

Hang in there, 2020 is nearly over. I know the year has been rough for many of you, myself included, but brighter days are on the horizon. And that includes the game! Not only did a large wave of reprints hit stores around the world this month, but we also got our first sneak peaks … Continue reading Month in review: November 2020 →
