'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand.' He faltered and leaned heavily on his staff. 'What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.' The Fellowship of the Ring The definitive "Boss fight" quest (maybe rivaled by Smaug) was an awesome way to end the Dwarrodelf cycle and explore the power of this ancient entity … Continue reading Nightmare Shadow and Flame
This scenario has been a favorite of the community since it came out. So many people like the randomness of the fourth stage, and the mid-game reset, that this quest is usually proposed when the age-old question comes up: "What are the four of us going to play today?". The artwork in this quest is … Continue reading Nightmare Foundations of Stone
A strong cold reigns on Caradhras. While winter has never been kind in these regions and especially on the Redhorn Gate, Caradhras seems to be especially hostile this year. The weather is unforgiving already, but scouts have reported orcs and goblins roaming the pass, some claiming to have seen creatures even bigger than the monstrous … Continue reading Nightmare The Redhorn Gate
After a bit of break from the blog, I have returned to release some more articles. Today, I posed myself the challenge to get through a Nightmare quest analysis as quickly as possible. And wouldn't you know it: a perfectly forgettable quest presents itself to us, this time in Nightmare form. Many people often praise … Continue reading Nightmare The Long Dark
The fight against the Watcher in the Water is one of the more iconic battle scenes in the Fellowship of the Ring. It's a fight against something completely different than the players have faced before when playing in progression mode. For the Nightmare version, the players are probably a little bit better prepared against the … Continue reading Nightmare The Watcher in the Water
When opening this pack, you might be surprised to see no extra copies of Sleeping Sentry in this pack. Still, this more difficult version of the infamous Road to Rivendell quest will be quite the challenge for everyone. The focus this time is more aimed towards the Ambush keyword, and the quest throws a replacement … Continue reading Nightmare Road to Rivendell
This article was written by Bobbymcbobface Na’asiyah: “This is either madness... or brilliance.” Prince Imrahil: “It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide.” Pirates of the Belegaer: The Curse of the Stormcaller There are a select few scenarios where it feels thematically satisfying to amass an army of heroes and allies to go up against … Continue reading Nightmare A Storm on Cobas Haven
The Seventh Level is one of my testing quests (I test a lot against Dwarrowdelf in general) and particularly for my combat decks. The classic Seventh Level has always been a quest that pushes out a ton of enemies. It requires you to do well against them, while also making enough progress to get through … Continue reading Nightmare The Seventh Level
After a "short" break (I planned to have this article ready on Halloween 2020), we advance in our Angmar Awakened nightmare series to another great quest. The Treachery of Rhudaur was already fun with multiple players, but it always used to be a little less fun while playing only one deck. Since it came out, … Continue reading Nightmare The Treachery of Rhudaur
Classic Into the Pit is one of my favorite testing quests for new decks. It combines having to explore some locations in the first stage with a combat-focused second stage, so your deck has to do well at both. On top of that, the encounter deck has a large selection of horrible cards, ranging from … Continue reading Nightmare Into the Pit
