Staples: Willpower Boost

It has been a long time since I have dusted off this series, and a lot has happened since then. Most importantly, the Hunt for the Dreadnaught marked the final new player card, meaning that we now have a set selection of cards to pick out our staples from. This series won't include any Boons that … Continue reading Staples: Willpower Boost →

The Woodland Realm

And now for something completely different: That must have been the tagline for this project, as the GenCon and Fellowship kits for 2018 and 2019 stray the most from the original format of the game out of all scenarios out there. It is for that reason that I have waited so long to cover these … Continue reading The Woodland Realm →

Month in Review: February 2023

Another month has passed, and it really feels like 2023 is going by at record speed. Maybe that is because this is a relatively short month. Also, not a ton happened, making the month fly by quickly. The biggest development this month was the Lure of Middle Earth convention in Germany, which has been the … Continue reading Month in Review: February 2023 →

Lure of Middle Earth 2023: Experiences and Memories

After 3.5 years, I was finally able to attend another LOTR LCG convention again, this time on my side of the Atlantic Ocean. While I have been meaning to attend Lure of Middle Earth earlier, it never quite lined up with my schedule. Until this year! And having missed out on Con of the Rings … Continue reading Lure of Middle Earth 2023: Experiences and Memories →

At the End of All Things

Don't worry; this isn't an announcement of the blog coming to an end or anything, no matter how dramatic the title of this article sounds. It's just an analysis of the latest AleP contract that I have been playing around with. This contract was released alongside The Nine Are Abroad scenario pack released during Con … Continue reading At the End of All Things →

Nightmare The Morgul Vale

When you read the flavor text before and after this scenario in the rule sheets, you learn that our heroes actually do get nightmares from the base scenario of that quest. It is not often that they are disturbed by things, but the memory of Minas Morgul under the full moon haunts them a bit … Continue reading Nightmare The Morgul Vale →

Nightmare The Blood of Gondor

Out of all 50 Nightmare packs, I think this is one that you should save for last. Not because it is worth the wait but because it is going to take some time to defeat the quest, and you'll be pretty burned out by the time you achieve that feat. The base scenario is already … Continue reading Nightmare The Blood of Gondor →

Month in Review: January 2023

A new year has dawned and has brought many new articles to the community. On top of it all, a few changes have occurred at the blog that are worth discussing. One of those things is that the blog is now a year older! Over five years ago, I started this project, and I am … Continue reading Month in Review: January 2023 →

Enemy Archetypes

I have talked at length about all the different archetypes players can build their decks around, from spamming Dwarves and Outlands allies to investing in a strong army of Dale allies with attachments. But it is important to realize that the enemy forces also have attended their Corporate Synergy seminars and have come up with … Continue reading Enemy Archetypes →

Storage Solutions: Jonker

This storage solution was first featured in a BGG thread, but I have received approval to post it on this site so that other players get to see it. Hopefully, this inspires more people to store their cards in unique ways and share them with the community. See the original thread for links to printing … Continue reading Storage Solutions: Jonker →
