""The Dead are following," said Legolas. "I see shapes of Men and of horses, and pale banners like shreds of cloud, and spears like winter-thickets on a misty night. The Dead are following.""Yes, the Dead ride behind. They have been summoned," said Elladan." - The Return of the King, The Passing of the Grey Company … Continue reading The Passing of the Grey Company
It's been a busy month concerning LOTR LCG. We have gotten our hands on the two expansions for the Dream-chaser cycle, and discovered quite a few new things inside those boxes. It's still not enough for me to buy everything again, but it will at least help the newer players to expand their cardpool and … Continue reading Month in Review: July 2023
LOTR LCG is a game that you can play solo or with up to three of your friends. 4 players is really the maximum, else the travel phase becomes a nightmare, and half the encounter deck is in play at the same time. But back in 2016, the community was surprised by FFG with a … Continue reading Epic Multiplayer
It was GenCon 2017 when all the players there got their first look at the brand-new POD quest for that year. It promised to be an epic battle following the siege of Dol Guldur during the War of the Ring. Players were gearing up for a fun quest that could also be played with up … Continue reading Attack on Dol Guldur
We're halfway through the year already. And while June wasn't a particularly big month for LOTR LCG, we did get the release of the Magic the Gathering sets, which has put some more eyes on this game as "that other LOTR card game". I've really noticed that when seeing a sharp uptick in traffic to … Continue reading Month in Review: June 2023
It's time to discuss the final stat that we can find on our characters in this mini-revival of the Staples series: Defence. This is an important stat for characters to have, as it will decide how much an enemy can attack before the defender starts to take damage. At the table, there will always be … Continue reading Staples: Defence Boost
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
When it comes down to the combat phase, talking things out rarely works (except that one time in Druadan Forest). So usually, you will need to fight your way through your enemies in order to get rid of them. For this, our heroes and allies make use of their attack stat, which doubles as the main … Continue reading Staples: Attack Boost
Last month I had nothing major to share, so there was no review for April. But May has been busy, so strap in for a slightly longer-than-usual recap article. This is all related to the loot, of course, which finally entered the final stages this month and should already be on its way to many … Continue reading Month in Review: May 2023
With the first two custom scenario kits focusing on the forest of Mirkwood and reusing art from (mostly) the first cycle, the location was pretty much milked for all that it's worth. So when GenCon 2019 and that year's Fellowship event needed a location for their custom scenario kits, the second cycle of the game … Continue reading The Mines of Moria
