Staples: Shadow card manipulation

The game has a couple of aspects that make every game you play unique. One of these is the random order of cards in the encounter deck, making for different staging steps each time. Another one is that of shadow cards. These are dealt to enemies and can either do nothing or end up causing … Continue reading Staples: Shadow card manipulation →

Lure of Middle Earth Announcement

While GenCon and Con of the Rings are both great conventions for anyone interested in this game, there is a downside to them: They are both in the United States. This makes it difficult for many European players to attend these events without paying a lot extra on trans-Atlantic plane tickets. This is where Lure … Continue reading Lure of Middle Earth Announcement →

Q&A: November 2018

As it has been a while since the last Q&A (last March) and as a lot of things have happened in the meantime, I thought it was time for another Q&A article, where I take questions from the community and try to answer them as best as I can. We have a bunch of questions … Continue reading Q&A: November 2018 →

Vision of the Palantir Swag 2018

It is custom for members of the community to give something back to their respective supporters, and I wanted to do something for you as well. With the upcoming Con of the Rings event in October, I decided back in July that I wanted to make my own custom loot for my Patreon supporters and … Continue reading Vision of the Palantir Swag 2018 →

Staples: Healing

In this game, your characters are expected to get a couple of wounds on them as the scenario progresses. In order to prevent your characters from dying to these wounds, you can heal them. From the early days of the Core Set, there have been many cards that allow players to discard damage tokens on … Continue reading Staples: Healing →

Month in Review: September 2018

Can't believe another month has gone by so fast again. The blog is already 9 months old and I'm still in cycle 5. At least the news out of FFG has been slow, so I should be catching up to recent content within a year. This month has been a bit of an organized mess, … Continue reading Month in Review: September 2018 →
