Deckbuilding principles

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 →

QotW: The Withered Heath Results

Jumping into the cycle of Adventure Packs with The Withered Heath, players will start to notice that games are going to take more rounds as the quests will force you to take additional turns before being able to advance the quest stage. This is also something that the campaign mode doesn't fix for this quest. … Continue reading QotW: The Withered Heath Results →

QotW: The King’s Quest Results

With the revisited Core Set quests behind us, our road took us to the Iron Hills to do a bit of dragon hunting! The community was tasked with tracking how many dragons were slain this past week. On top of the regular two achievements I put out, there was also a third one posed by … Continue reading QotW: The King’s Quest Results →

The Game is Dead, Long live the Game!

Well, it looks like I have my answer in the article I published earlier this year on what FFG would do after the Return of the King Saga expansion was repackaged. While I mentioned various scenarios that would see more products being released by the company, their most recent post announcing the repackaged Return of … Continue reading The Game is Dead, Long live the Game! →

QotW: Lost in Mirkwood Results

This quest brought us all the way back to the very beginning of the Core Set, where we try to traverse the forest of Mirkwood. Unlike Passage though, this quest takes you far off the beaten path and allows you to pass through the forest in your own manner, coming across different stages depending on … Continue reading QotW: Lost in Mirkwood Results →

QotW: Journey Up the Anduin Results

It is the beginning of the Ered Mithrin campaign for many, as we will cover all nine quest in the coming nine weeks. We began this week by revisiting Journey Up the Anduin, which is a spiritual successor to the Journey Along the Anduin quest from the Core Set. This version features many of the … Continue reading QotW: Journey Up the Anduin Results →

Nightmare The Drowned Ruins

I know this is not in sequence, but I had to jump (to) the shark! The Drowned Ruins is, for many players, a moment in the cycle where they can take a break, slowly build up their board state, and then rush through to the end. In the original version, nothing is stopping you from … Continue reading Nightmare The Drowned Ruins →

QotW: The Siege of Erebor Results

With not everyone having received their copy of the Ered Mithrin campaign box last week, we decided to extend the waiting period before we would begin with this cycle for QotW. Instead, we went for the Erebor stand-alone scenario that was created by AleP last year. It is a recent quest and also takes place … Continue reading QotW: The Siege of Erebor Results →

QotW: The Caves of Nibin-Dum Results

We've made it to the end of the Core Set + Dark of Mirkwood campaign! This also marks the first month of the QotW project, which I have enjoyed a lot. By the looks of things, so have many of you, as new entries keep flowing in with each quest. For this week, you were … Continue reading QotW: The Caves of Nibin-Dum Results →

QotW: The Oath Results

We are getting close to the Ered Mithrin cycle, but wanted to give players some more time to receive their campaign box. So we continue with the campaign from the Core Set into the Dark of Mirkwood scenario expansion. These two quests aren't the hardest of them all, but can still leave some space for … Continue reading QotW: The Oath Results →
