After having missed the previous 3 editions of Con of the Rings, I have finally made the trip to the GameZenter again for a weekend of LOTR LCG and meeting up with community members I hadn't seen in 4 years. 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
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
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
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
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
Last month I had nothing major to share, so there was no review for April. But May has been busy, so strap in for a slightly longer-than-usual recap article. This is all related to the loot, of course, which finally entered the final stages this month and should already be on its way to many … Continue reading Month in Review: May 2023
I know we are a few months into 2023 by now, but we finally finished the loot from last year after having had some delays with the internal layout and designs, as well as some personal issues that forced us to take some more time for this project. But I am finally happy with the … Continue reading Vision of the Palantir Loot 2022
While it is ok for some characters to have 0 willpower, no attack, and zero defence, there is one stat that all characters in your deck share. They all have at least one hitpoint. Some have more than others, but each character needs to have at least a single hitpoint in order to be played … Continue reading Staples: Hitpoint Boost
As I had expected, March has been a relatively slow month for the blog, with not a lot of new articles. This was in large part because I have started to work more and more at my actual job and because of various distractions. The biggest one was a 3-day build of the new LEGO … Continue reading Monthly Review: March 2023
It has been a long time since I have dusted off this series, and a lot has happened since then. Most importantly, the Hunt for the Dreadnaught marked the final new player card, meaning that we now have a set selection of cards to pick out our staples from. This series won't include any Boons that … Continue reading Staples: Willpower Boost
