What a month it has been. Where I hoped last month that things would clear up in April, the reality is that the world will have to stay in lockdown for a little longer. I would be fine to keep things the way they are now for a little while longer, but even an introvert … Continue reading Month in Review: April 2020
The month is coming to an end, and with it, the monthly poll results are in. This month I polled how the community feels about the different Armor attachments that are in the cardpool. These attachments have been important in keeping your heroes alive, and during the Ered Mithrin cycle, we've received some armor for … Continue reading Monthly Poll: April 2020
Even further north than the cold reaches of Erebor and Dale, there is a split in the Grey Mountains. Between this fork of the mountain range, a valley is created that was once inhabited by the Longbeards. But dragons came from the far north and settled in this valley, burning the Dwarves down to Erebor … Continue reading The Withered Heath
With the current global pandemic keeping everyone locked in, it is important to enjoy the little things. Whether that is the extra time you can spend with your family, play some more games, or watch the entire backlog of series you have been meaning to watch, it is important that you keep morale up and … Continue reading First Impressions: Under the Ash Mountains
Out of all the quests ever in this game, Escape from Dol Guldur has got to be one of the hardest. The quest is way too difficult for new players that just picked up their Core Set, and even players with complete card pools would rather play something like Nin-in-Eilph over Escape from Dol Guldur. … Continue reading Nightmare Escape from Dol Guldur
I think many of us are going to remember this month and the ones to come for a long time. This isn't the best situation we are currently finding ourselves in, but remember that this is not the new normal and this too shall pass. With that said, the LOTR LCG community is coming together … Continue reading Month in Review: March 2020
Amidst all the commotion that the current situation creates, I nearly forgot that it was nearing the end of the month, and so I had to finish the monthly poll that I ran during March. This month, I polled what everybody's favourite quest from the Dwarrowdelf cycle was, giving everyone 2 selections from among the … Continue reading Monthly Poll: March 2020
At the end of the first cycle, solo players were challenged like they had previously been during Escape from Dol Guldur. The final AP of the cycle gave them a quest that was very difficult to beat in true solo, but got easier with more players, as they got to share Gollum between players, reducing … Continue reading Nightmare Return to Mirkwood
During the Vengeance of Mordor cycle, the developers introduced a new card type that not only influences the way you play your deck, but also influences the deckbuilding process itself. These new Contract cards limit the players in some areas, like restricting certain cards from your deck, but grant you benefits in other places. The … Continue reading Fellowship
With the shortest month of the year almost behind us, it is time to reflect on the past month and see what it brought the community in terms of expansions and articles from this blog. We got our third expansion of the Vengeance of Mordor cycle, and the Doomed archetype got revitalised with the release … Continue reading Month in Review: February 2020
