We've had a contract that focuses on allies with Fellowship. We've had a contract that enhances events with Council of the Wise, and we have had a contract that puts the spotlight on heroes with Forth, the Three Hunters!. Now it is time to look at an attachment-driven contract with The Burglar's Turn. This contract … Continue reading The Burglar’s Turn
The Fortress of Nurn
The Fortress of Nurn was a monumental release, for several reasons. When I received the pack I poured myself a glass of whisky and sat down at my desk to savor this last package, like Bilbo at Bag End, thinking about this wonderful game and all the fond memories it had provided me with over … Continue reading The Fortress of Nurn
Forth, the Three Hunters!
Out of all the contracts released up to this point, I think that this one is the most popular by the community. So many Three Hunters decks were released and played that I personally grew a bit tired of them. But that hasn't stopped me from playing with the contract, as it can be a … Continue reading Forth, the Three Hunters!
Grey Wanderer
This contract hardly needs an introduction.

But once the Challenge of the Wainriders pack was released and the contract made its way into the … Continue reading Grey Wanderer

Encounter Set Review: Conflict at the Carrock
If in Hunt for Gollum, Players rested from fighting, in Conflict at the Carrock, We are going to throw them in the turmoil of fierce battle. From The Carrock are coming down hungry and enraged Troll brothers. They won't definitely shake hands with the newcomers - rather, they will tear the hands away. The Players have not yet known such a … Continue reading Encounter Set Review: Conflict at the Carrock
First Impressions: The Dark of Mirkwood
I have missed this, I really have. Shortly after the release of the Revised Core Set, I got word that the announced Dark of Mirkwood Scenario Pack was already in stock here in the Netherlands. And what do you know? It actually arrived the day after I ordered. So I get to revive an old … Continue reading First Impressions: The Dark of Mirkwood
4th year Anniversary
Back in 2018, I decided to start this adventure to give back to the community for all its awesome advice and helpful people. Now, 4 years later, the blog has grown to one of the pillars for the community. We have done a lot of work to get this far, but looking back at where … Continue reading 4th year Anniversary
