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

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
[Last Update: September 2023] With the recent return of the game to the shelves of local game stores worldwide, a few things have changed in the format. Since the last buying guide I made, some other things have happened as well, such as the Print On Demand packs becoming rarer, and some new expansions have been released. … Continue reading New Player Buying Guide
Again, this has not been the most exciting month on the blog, as I have been busy starting my new job and still recovering from the personal changes that came in last month. Mentally, I have not yet recovered, though work has been a good distraction. It has taken up a lot of time that … Continue reading Month in Review: May 2022
This quest is one of the community's favorites thanks to its high replayability with the different Plots and Villains. The quest was so popular that the designers tried their hand again with Danger in Dorwinion, which is a spiritual successor. But this quest also comes with a Nightmare mode, building on the original version with … Continue reading Nightmare The Steward’s Fear
That... was quite a month. Not so much for the game or the blog, but for me personally. For those of you that have been following my struggles, you will be happy to learn that I'm back to blogging and being a part of the community after a 3-week hiatus. For those that were unaware … Continue reading Month in Review: April 2022
