For some reason, the game's creators have a fondness for alliterations in quest's names, also seen in Peril in Pelargir. This one is different, though, and more resembles The Steward‘s Fear in its mechanics. Story-wise, you have now arrived in Dorwinion, a great city at the shores of the Sea of Rhûn, where you met … Continue reading Danger in Dorwinion
As the first scenario of a new cycle, the quest is meant to introduce new mechanics in a slightly easier format to give players a solid quest to beat without it taking a million attempts. Especially in this Vengeance of Mordor cycle, the River Running strikes me as the easiest quest of the entire cycle, … Continue reading The River Running
While it seems like forever since this pack got announced and the community lost its collective mind over the contract, the day has finally come for me to open the pack and play with its contents. It has been a while since Under the Ash Mountains came out in Europe, so I am eager to … Continue reading First Impressions: The Land of Sorrow
No not the credit cards, this article will focus on the Master traited cards that were introduced in the Vengeance of Mordor cycle.

Content is just coming out of FFG at a rate that we haven't seen in a long time. With January giving me 2 APs, we are already on to the third in the cycle. We received a lot of spoilers for this pack though, so not many player cards were new. Still, they will try … Continue reading First Impressions: The Challenge of the Wainriders
At long, long last I finally got my hands on this first Adventure pack of the final cycle. While the pack was originally scheduled for the end of Q3 and would have been available at Con of the Rings, it took well over 2 months longer to finally find its way into my collection. But … Continue reading First Impressions: Wrath and Ruin
Chances are that this article will be out before I cover my first impressions of Wrath and Ruin. This is due to the delays that first AP had, and that City of Ulfast fortunately didn't have that much of.
