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
It has been a while since I have done one of these staple articles, but with Ered Mithrin coming to an end, and with me not wanting to do another Nightmare article just yet, I thought it was time to revive this segment of the blog. For today, I chose the Mustering topic, which deals … Continue reading Staples: Mustering
Between the big battles with Dragon enemies in this cycle, there is a slightly easier scenario early in the cycle. During Roam Across Rhovanion, you are enlisted by the Goblin Urdug to retrieve some of his stuff. In return, he will reveal a secret entrance into Mount Gundabad that you can use to sneak into … Continue reading Roam Across Rhovanion
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
