To take a break of the 'favoutire scenario of cycle X' trend, I made a poll for the short month of February where players could vote for their top 3 weapon attachments. And with the month coming to an end, it is time to share with you the results on what weapons should remain according … Continue reading Monthly Poll: February 2020

It is a custom for the third quest of each Deluxe box to be the most difficult of the three. Look at Escape from Dol Guldur, Raid on the Grey Havens, and Deadmen's Dike as examples. The Wilds of Rhovanion Deluxe's third quest has you explore the mines of the Iron Hills, where rumour has … Continue reading The King’s Quest
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
Flies and spiders… that's the name of the very stage of Passage Through Mirkwood scenario… and it quite fits one of the first Encounter set, which We would call as "practice". Of course, the Player doesn't play with each encounter set separately - each scenario consists of more encounter sets. But Passage Through Mirkwood set doesn't exert any pressure … Continue reading Encounter Set Review: Passage Through Mirkwood

The quest is the first one that any new player plays when they dive into this game, and it has a reputation of being the easiest quest … Continue reading Lost in Mirkwood

Well first of all I am going to recommend RingsDB, … Continue reading Testing Quests (or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Deck)
Elrond is disturbed by the report of Arwen’s journey to Rivendell. He has requsted that the heroes discover the source of the increased Orc activity along the Misty Mountains. This mission has led the party South to Moria, but the Doors of Durin are blocked by a deep, dark lake. As the heroes make their … Continue reading Player card review: The Watcher in the Water
A new year, and its first month brought us quite a lot of new content. Not only did I finally receive two new expansions for the game (last one was way back in July), but we also got more news articles from FFG. The blog also did good, although I did a lot of preparation … Continue reading Month in Review: January 2020
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
