It has been a hot minute since I last did one of these overview articles. I took a break in August, and when the end of September rolled around, I was busy playing games at Con of the Rings. So I will recap a bit of the past three months in this article, and look … Continue reading Month in Review: October 2023

Nightmare Deadmen’s Dike
To conclude the Lost Realm box, we change our enemies from Orcs to Undead. In the regular version of this quest, you are swarmed with ghosts and reanimated corpses, and I can inform you now that the Nightmare version of this quest does not change that a lot. So, with Halloween around the corner, be … Continue reading Nightmare Deadmen’s Dike
Con of the Rings 2023: Experiences and Memories
After having missed the previous 3 editions of Con of the Rings, I have finally made the trip to the GameZenter again for a weekend of LOTR LCG and meeting up with community members I hadn't seen in 4 years. In this article, I share everything that my jetlagged brain can remember of the weekend, … Continue reading Con of the Rings 2023: Experiences and Memories
Alt Arts
Playing the game is fun and all, but after having played it for several years, you would be forgiven if you thought that it felt a bit repetitive to see the same player cards over and over again. And while I always advise you to step out of your comfort zone a bit and try … Continue reading Alt Arts
Nightmare The Weather Hills
I am quite unfamiliar with this quest, to be honest. It never grabbed my attention during any progression playthroughs, and I even gave the original analysis to a fellow author in order to cover this quest in greater detail. But I suppose I have to face this quest once more in a more difficult variant! … Continue reading Nightmare The Weather Hills
Convention Preparation
With Con of the Rings at the end of this month and the pre-registration for Lure of Middle Earth opening on September 15th, I feel that this time is as good as any to talk about what to bring to conventions and what to prepare yourself for. While the usual convention advice is applicable, there … Continue reading Convention Preparation
Nightmare Intruders in Chetwood
It has been a while since I have made a Nightmare article, and since another author will be taking on the Ringmaker cycle, I will skip ahead and move on to the Angmar Awakened cycle. This should be in everyone's recent memory since this was the first cycle that received the repackaged treatment. As a … Continue reading Nightmare Intruders in Chetwood
Month in Review: July 2023
It's been a busy month concerning LOTR LCG. We have gotten our hands on the two expansions for the Dream-chaser cycle, and discovered quite a few new things inside those boxes. It's still not enough for me to buy everything again, but it will at least help the newer players to expand their cardpool and … Continue reading Month in Review: July 2023
Epic Multiplayer
LOTR LCG is a game that you can play solo or with up to three of your friends. 4 players is really the maximum, else the travel phase becomes a nightmare, and half the encounter deck is in play at the same time. But back in 2016, the community was surprised by FFG with a … Continue reading Epic Multiplayer
Attack on Dol Guldur
It was GenCon 2017 when all the players there got their first look at the brand-new POD quest for that year. It promised to be an epic battle following the siege of Dol Guldur during the War of the Ring. Players were gearing up for a fun quest that could also be played with up … Continue reading Attack on Dol Guldur
