Ultimate LOTR LCG expansion review
Strap in; this is going to be a long article. For years, I have been busy reviewing products and quests for LOTR LCG, but I have never done an article on every single expansion, reviewing both quests and player cards. In truth, this article borrows a lot from Ian's New Player Buying Guide over at … Continue reading Ultimate LOTR LCG expansion review

Lure of Middle Earth 2024: Experiences and Memories
While it seems like Con of the Rings 2023 wasn't too long ago, I was happily surprised one morning to see that Lure of Middle Earth was already around the corner. I think that the yearly convention schedule is spaced out pretty well in order to not have a bunch of them in the same … Continue reading Lure of Middle Earth 2024: Experiences and Memories

While the usual convention advice is applicable, there … Continue reading Convention Preparation
Escape from Khazad-Dum
This is the final custom scenario kit that was ever released for the game and one that players will likely own. This is because the set was handed out during the somewhat controversial Fellowship 2020 event, which never actually took place in many physical stores due to the virus. The kit had 4 sets of … Continue reading Escape from Khazad-Dum
Buying LOTR LCG in 2023 (and later)
As a new player, it can be overwhelming to jump into a game that has been running for over a decade and has hundreds of different expansions. The new change in format doesn't make things easier either since you might end up buying duplicates and have to resell some items. But that's even assuming you … Continue reading Buying LOTR LCG in 2023 (and later)
