This article will be a bit shorter than usual and also covers a topic that I personally have not touched upon for the blog. However, this article will be part of my new book project, and I thought it would be fair to give everyone a chance to leave feedback on the article in case … Continue reading Deckbuilding principles
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
The following article was written by community member Doc_H, who was kind enough to write this awesome article comparing LOTR LCG with the newer Marvel Champions and looking at some similarities and differences in the games. We're not saying that one is better than the other, but seeing how both have had the same designers, it would be possible that if you enjoy … Continue reading Comparing LOTR LCG to Marvel Champions
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
Back when the new releases were stopped in 2019, and the game went into hiatus, many people speculated on what would happen to it.

And while I always advise you to step out of your comfort zone a bit and try … Continue reading Alt Arts
With Con of the Rings at the end of this month and the pre-registration for Lure of Middle Earth opening on September 15th, I feel that this time is as good as any to talk about what to bring to conventions and what to prepare yourself for. While the usual convention advice is applicable, there … Continue reading Convention Preparation
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
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)
With everything going on right now, I needed a distraction, and while I'm not feeling good enough to write a full scenario analysis, I did want to start putting out content on the blog again. So I'd like to take you all on a journey to explain how this year's swag got its cover and … Continue reading Artwork of the VOTP swag 2022
