After having gone over the different armor and weapon attachment that are currently in the cardpool, I turned to the different Mounts that can be given to your characters. There is quite a wide variety in Mount attachments, and the Rohan trait even has some interaction with having Mounts attached to characters, so I decided … Continue reading Monthly Poll: July 2020
If the Dragons and the other big enemies in this cycle weren't enough, you and your fellowship decide to go down the haunted depths of Framsburg in search of a sword. The place has been deserted for a long time, meaning you will have to watch your step and deal with any ghosts that you … Continue reading The Ghost of Framsburg
Between the stay at home orders, anti-COVID and BLM protests, heavy rainfall and intense heatwaves just here in the Netherlands, June has been a strange month. It is during these times that I am happy to be able to devote some time to this game, especially now that things in my family aren't going well … Continue reading Month in Review: June 2020
With another month coming to a close, it is time to look back at the poll that I have had up on the blog for the last 30 days. This poll asked everyone what their top 2 scenarios from the Ringmaker cycle are. The cycle is a little controversial, as the Time mechanic wasn't well … Continue reading Monthly Poll: June 2020
No not the credit cards, this article will focus on the Master traited cards that were introduced in the Vengeance of Mordor cycle. These cards interact with the player card version of the One Ring that was in the Shadow in the East Deluxe box. The trait offers the players the chance to use the … Continue reading Master cards
The art of smoking pipeweed is a common practice among various races in Middle Earth. Wizards do it, Dwarves do it, and Hobbits have based a part of their economy on it! So it wasn't a huge shock when Pipe and Pipeweed traited cards eventually made their way into the game. While it may seem … Continue reading Pipes
As we are slowly getting used to the new situation we are finding ourselves in, the month of May comes to an end. It was a month of spoilers, with the final cards of both Land of Sorrow and the final AP, The Fortress of Nurn being spoiled in the community. This marks the conclusion … Continue reading Month in Review: May 2020
Having played a lot of Under the Ash Mountains recently has pushed me to appreciate the cards in this game that allow you to recur some cards from your discard pile. This allows you to last longer against quests like Under the Ash Mountains and Deadmen's Dike, where you will automatically lose if your deck … Continue reading Staples: Recursion
While not entirely related to the card game, I polled this month how much people interact with the game during the pandemic. My hypothesis was that people had more time to spend on the game now that many were working at home, but with some players also having their kids stuck at home and with … Continue reading Monthly Poll: May 2020
The community doesn't really like A Journey to Rhosgobel, and I tend to agree. While the community and I have our differences at times (The Hills of Emyn Muil is a decent testing quest, fite me), we both agree that A Journey to Rhosgobel wasn't the best scenario in the first cycle. The mechanics of … Continue reading Nightmare A Journey to Rhosgobel
