Nearly there, just two more articles to go to have covered all the flavor text of all the cycles. This one took a bit longer as large parts had to be copied by hand (including the entire Deluxe box). Luckily, this cycle's narrative is not as long as the previous cycles, though it is still … Continue reading Flavor text: Ered Mithrin
With the heroes stranded in Umbar after the previous cycle, the game picks up immediately where it left off. This cycle explores the heroes' journey home, along with the friends and foes they meet along the way. The narrative of the cycle explores how not all of the Haradrim follow Sauron willingly, which is a … Continue reading Flavor text: Haradrim
These articles are becoming longer and longer the further we go in. But I have grown to appreciate the stories a lot since starting this series. While most of the work is simply cutting and pasting the stories from the rule sheets, I do have to type some segments over, giving me a better idea … Continue reading Flavor text: Angmar Awakened
After the long article detailing the story of the Against the Shadow cycle, we learned that our heroes were moving to Rohan. And that is exactly where this story picks up again. This hinting at the next cycle will continue in these stories, and eventually, those links will become stronger and stronger after the Dream-chaser … Continue reading Flavor text: Ringmaker

Your mission is not simple - apart from fighting … Continue reading Player card review: Encounter at Amon Din
I am not going to lie; I stole most of these ideas from Durin's Father and others in the community. I won't bore you, more like terrify you with my OLD storage solution. Anyway, I still want to share my thoughts on storage because I cannot buy 10 plus Ultimate Guard boxes, although I would … Continue reading Beleg’s Storage
Gollum is hiding behind the bushes in the Anduin Valley and is carefully watching the heroes, who are searching for him. Gollum is completely motionless; he doesn't want to be caught. And WE will keep Gollum hidden before the eyes of these foolish heroes. Meanwhile, the heroes discover the new sign of Gollum and fix their eyes … Continue reading Encounter Set Review: The Hunt for Gollum
The Wastes of Eriador has always been my favourite quest from the Angmar Awakened Cycle and Lost Realm Deluxe box. Given that this is, together with Ered Mithrin, my favourite cycle, it ranks pretty high on my list of overall favourite quests. This is just one of these quests where theme and mechanics work so … Continue reading Deckbuilding: The Wastes of Eriador
When the number of players are discussed for this game, solo and two player modes are the most commonly discussed, and while four players is always the goal to be achieved.
