Monthly Poll: September 2018

With the blog dipping its toe into the Angmar Awakened cycle this month, I wanted to know which of 9 quests rank among the favourites for the community. The cycle introduced the concept of side-quests, and several scenarios play around this.

Staples: Scrying (Player deck)

While scrying the encounter deck can be very useful information for players, scrying your own deck is also helpful. Knowing what cards will be drawn in the next resource phase can allow you to stack the deck in your favour.

Monthly Poll: July 2018

It has been another month since I posted the poll on what archetype the community likes to play with most. Since there were so many options, I allowed everyone to give their top 3, just to even the playing field a little.

Staples: Readying

Most characters have to exhaust in order to quest, defend, attack or trigger abilities. On top of this, some encounter cards and some quests also have you exhaust a number of characters to fulfil certain conditions. This leaves the character unusable until the next refresh phase (if you are lucky). In order to get around … Continue reading Staples: Readying →
