Between the stay at home orders, anti-COVID and BLM protests, heavy rainfall and intense heatwaves just here in the Netherlands, June has been a strange month. It is during these times that I am happy to be able to devote some time to this game, especially now that things in my family aren't going well … Continue reading Month in Review: June 2020
With another month coming to a close, it is time to look back at the poll that I have had up on the blog for the last 30 days. This poll asked everyone what their top 2 scenarios from the Ringmaker cycle are. The cycle is a little controversial, as the Time mechanic wasn't well … Continue reading Monthly Poll: June 2020
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.

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
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
With COVID-19 keeping many of us around the world self-isolating or quarantined, communities like this one can keep connected through the wonders of modern technology. Some of us have had to learn new ways of getting our work done from home, becoming proficient in communications technology so advanced that would have seemed laughable nine years … Continue reading Solo Player Quests
I think many of us are going to remember this month and the ones to come for a long time. This isn't the best situation we are currently finding ourselves in, but remember that this is not the new normal and this too shall pass. With that said, the LOTR LCG community is coming together … Continue reading Month in Review: March 2020
