Strap in; this is going to be a long article. For years, I have been busy reviewing products and quests for LOTR LCG, but I have never done an article on every single expansion, reviewing both quests and player cards. In truth, this article borrows a lot from Ian's New Player Buying Guide over at … Continue reading Ultimate LOTR LCG expansion review

Vision of the Poll-antir 4 Results
It has been over 3.5 years since the previous poll I did on the state of the blog, and with my job preventing me from spending a lot of time on the blog, I wanted to get some feedback. This helps me to see where I should spend some time and what the community would appreciate most. I'm … Continue reading Vision of the Poll-antir 4 Results
Sixth Year Anniversary
They grow up so fast, don't they? It has been exactly 6 years since I started to write for the blog and shared the first set of articles on the Core Set with the community. Back then, I had no idea how large the blog would grow and that we'd cross the 1 million views … Continue reading Sixth Year Anniversary
2023: A Year in Numbers
It's for the first time in a while that I feel that this year has been better than the last. That's not difficult to beat since 2022 was horrible, but it's nice to reflect on the past 12 months and feel good about how they have gone on a personal level. Let's hope that positivity … Continue reading 2023: A Year in Numbers
Month in Review: October 2023
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

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
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
Month in Review: June 2023
We're halfway through the year already. And while June wasn't a particularly big month for LOTR LCG, we did get the release of the Magic the Gathering sets, which has put some more eyes on this game as "that other LOTR card game". I've really noticed that when seeing a sharp uptick in traffic to … Continue reading Month in Review: June 2023
Staples: Defence Boost
It's time to discuss the final stat that we can find on our characters in this mini-revival of the Staples series: Defence. This is an important stat for characters to have, as it will decide how much an enemy can attack before the defender starts to take damage. At the table, there will always be … Continue reading Staples: Defence Boost
Staples: Attack Boost
When it comes down to the combat phase, talking things out rarely works (except that one time in Druadan Forest). So usually, you will need to fight your way through your enemies in order to get rid of them. For this, our heroes and allies make use of their attack stat, which doubles as the main … Continue reading Staples: Attack Boost
