The Black Serpent

One of the best things of this game is that it can dive deep into passing mentions of places and characters that were in the books. This cycle is a prime example of this, since we don't know much about Harad from the books. It has led us to the great jungles that were only … Continue reading The Black Serpent →

Month in Review: November 2019

Another month is over, and what a month it has been for the community. Not only did we get a lot of new cards spoiled to us, but most of the community finally got their hands on Wrath and Ruin. This in turn meant that the community was thriving with discussions on the new cards … Continue reading Month in Review: November 2019 →

This article will guide those players to a selection of expansions that either have amazing player cards in them, or have some of the best experiences in … Continue reading “Best” LOTR LCG packs to buy →

The Dungeons of Cirith Gurat

It is a common theme in this game to break into places we are not supposed to, and yet each time, the scenario feels different. Whether it is Dol Guldur, Carn Dum, or this fictional Orc Stronghold in the Ephel Duath, the mechanics make the settings fresh to attempt each scenario individually. Today's article looks … Continue reading The Dungeons of Cirith Gurat →

Month in Review: October 2019

With the year coming to a close soon, it is time to look at what October gave us in terms of LOTR LCG content. While the community thrived with Con of the Rings being a big part of the early weeks of the month, FFG dropped the ball and didn't release any new articles to … Continue reading Month in Review: October 2019 →

Mono-Tactics

When it comes to mono-sphere decks, none have had a harder time getting to their current strength than Tactics. The mono-tactics deck in the Core Set lacks too much to beat any of the scenarios in there without an incredible amount of luck. But in recent times, mono-Tactics has become a popular strategy to build … Continue reading Mono-Tactics →

Monthly Poll: October 2019

As the leaves fall down, another month comes to an end. In this month I put up a new poll on the blog where you could fill in your favourite two scenarios of the recently completed Ered Mithrin cycle. This cycle had a few amazing quests, but also a few very long slogs through the … Continue reading Monthly Poll: October 2019 →

Mono-Leadership

Continuing our quest to cover all of the mono-sphere decks, we arrive at Leadership. This sphere is known for a lot of things, and mono-Leadership decks have proven to be reliable from very early in the game's life, unlike spheres like Tactics. Leadership has a lot of major characters in its hero-lineup, allowing many archetypes … Continue reading Mono-Leadership →

Storage Solutions III

My previous storage solution article has been one of thรฉ most popular articles ever on this blog. Since then, more than a year has passed, and while I have updated sections here and there, my solutions have changed too much to keep updating an old article. So instead, I present this third installment of my … Continue reading Storage Solutions III →
