This was the designers wishing that the community would proceed to forge their own bond of friendship with each … Continue reading Bond of Friendship

The Burglar’s Turn
We've had a contract that focuses on allies with Fellowship. We've had a contract that enhances events with Council of the Wise, and we have had a contract that puts the spotlight on heroes with Forth, the Three Hunters!. Now it is time to look at an attachment-driven contract with The Burglar's Turn. This contract … Continue reading The Burglar’s Turn
Forth, the Three Hunters!
Out of all the contracts released up to this point, I think that this one is the most popular by the community. So many Three Hunters decks were released and played that I personally grew a bit tired of them. But that hasn't stopped me from playing with the contract, as it can be a … Continue reading Forth, the Three Hunters!
Grey Wanderer
This contract hardly needs an introduction. The concept of a single-hero deck is very old for the game, and cards in the past like Strider and Vanish from Sight have tried to bring a two-hero deck going. But once the Challenge of the Wainriders pack was released and the contract made its way into the … Continue reading Grey Wanderer
Council of the Wise
February will be dedicated to the contracts that were released during the Vengeance of Mordor cycle as well as the Hunt for the Dreadnaught scenario pack. In these articles I hope to inform you all on the deckbuilding decisions you will face when building decks with the contracts, and what their individual strengths and weaknesses … Continue reading Council of the Wise

I have missed this, I really have. Shortly after the release of the Revised Core Set, I got word that the announced Dark of Mirkwood Scenario Pack was already in stock here in the Netherlands. And what do you know? It actually arrived the day after I ordered. So I get to revive an old … Continue reading First Impressions: The Dark of Mirkwood
4th year Anniversary
Back in 2018, I decided to start this adventure to give back to the community for all its awesome advice and helpful people. Now, 4 years later, the blog has grown to one of the pillars for the community. We have done a lot of work to get this far, but looking back at where … Continue reading 4th year Anniversary
Dear New LOTR LCG Player,
First of all, welcome to this wonderful game! Maybe you were lured here by the new Revised Core Set you found in a shop, or you watched a video of someone unboxing or playing the game. Perhaps you were even trapped into buying the game because a friend brought you along on an adventure with … Continue reading Dear New LOTR LCG Player,
The Hunt for the Dreadnaught
In December 2020, the community got a nice surprise from FFG. Since the GenCon of that year could not be held due to the pandemic, FFG could not release their GenCon-exclusive scenario that year. And with no Fellowship events being held in that year either, they needed to publish their quest in one way or … Continue reading The Hunt for the Dreadnaught
