This month's poll ended a little earlier, as the upcoming holidays don't allow me enough time to work on the article, so I might as well push it out now. Over the past month, I have polled what scenarios from the Vengeance of Mordor cycle are your favorite. I have done this for every cycle … Continue reading Monthly Poll: December 2020
Deckbuilding: Deadmen’s Dike
Deadmen's Dike is the quest that I remember as my first really big stumbling block in the game. I started this game with the Ringmaker Cycle and first Saga boxes in addition to the core set, and while they have some difficult scenarios, you can tech for them and have some powerful player cards available. … Continue reading Deckbuilding: Deadmen’s Dike
First Impressions: The Hunt for the Dreadnaught
I received my copy of Hunt for the Dreadnaught last week, and having played the quest a few times now, I have decided to bring back the First Impressions series one last time before we enter the hiatus. This quest is rather unique, plus the pack came with an additional contract, so I want to … Continue reading First Impressions: The Hunt for the Dreadnaught
A long-extended Party
You hear it often that this community is the best there is on the internet. For those that need proof of this, I present you with the AleP (A long-extended Party) project. This idea was spearheaded by Seastan back in September 2019 when it was announced that the game would go on a hiatus after … Continue reading A long-extended Party
LOTR LCG: Art-icle
There are often moments on podcasts where the hosts are discussing cards and take 5 minutes to gush over the art on an audio podcast. While that format doesn't work well with art, I'm happy that the blog format of this site works a lot better. So let me take this time to highlight some … Continue reading LOTR LCG: Art-icle
Month in review: November 2020
Hang in there, 2020 is nearly over. I know the year has been rough for many of you, myself included, but brighter days are on the horizon. And that includes the game! Not only did a large wave of reprints hit stores around the world this month, but we also got our first sneak peaks … Continue reading Month in review: November 2020
Journey Along the Anduin
The next article fit for a remastered version is this Core Set classic that is still enjoyed by players to this day. Journey along the Anduin is one of the most played scenarios by the community, and deserves a proper in depth look. If you would want to read the original article from 2.5 years … Continue reading Journey Along the Anduin
Monthly Poll: November 2020
With the ninth cycle of the game introducing the new Contract card type, it was only natural to have them all compete in a poll. With most people having access to the final AP in November, this was the ideal time as many people would have had enough time to play with all of the … Continue reading Monthly Poll: November 2020
Deckbuilding: The Weather Hills
On a cold day of November like today, I'm happy to not have to go outside in the Biting Wind and instead can Make Camp in my armchair, playing some Lord of the Rings and continue this deckbuilding series… and imagine how my heroes are out there in the cold of the Weather Hills, fighting … Continue reading Deckbuilding: The Weather Hills
The Temple of Doom
"Thanks for taking on Temple of Doom! Feel free to sprinkle it with Indiana Jones references!". Those were the words of my editor and our graceful host, Durin's Father, when I told him that I would be taking on this beast of a quest. Yours truly is no novice to the art of writing a … Continue reading The Temple of Doom
