LOTR LCG: The Collection

It can be pretty difficult for new players to find their way in the jungle of cards and expansions that this game has to offer. There have been occasions where people have bought adventure packs without owning the corresponding Deluxe box when they first came to the game, making it impossible to play the specific … Continue reading LOTR LCG: The Collection →

Blogroll and community resources

A game is only as good as the community surrounding it and with LOTR LCG, that community is another reason to play this game. The people are really supportive and work on several resources to make deck building easier. I think the community is so great in part because the game is a cooperative game, … Continue reading Blogroll and community resources →

Staples: Card Draw

With the resources covered in the previous article, it is now time to spend all of those precious resources and play some cards. What would a card game be without having cards in your hands right? The staples in this category are mostly found in the Lore sphere, as it established itself early on to … Continue reading Staples: Card Draw →

Staples: Resource Acceleration

As with every card game, some cards are better than others. Some are even better than good cards, putting them in a special rank above all others. These widely used cards are used often in a multitude of decks and have become standard tools for players to beat many scenarios. These top-tier cards are what … Continue reading Staples: Resource Acceleration →

Storage Solutions

A question that gets asked quite often in the community is how people store their cards. This game can get out of hand really fast, and players can get buried underneath a mountain of cards before long. There are a lot of different storage solutions on the market, and many players prefer different brands. I … Continue reading Storage Solutions →
