There has been a pattern in this card game stretching right back to the Core Set. Well, perhaps I should be more specific, there are in fact several of these patterns. But the one in particular I am referring to is the removal of heroes from the player's control before the game ever begins. It … Continue reading The Long Arm Of Mordor
“Here lies Balin, son of Fundin. Lord of Moria.” My latest article continues my adventures in the dark, twisting passages of Moria as I search for signs of Balin – although, of course, we all know his unfortunate fate from reading ‘Fellowship of the Ring’... The Encounter deck uses lots of new cards that are … Continue reading The Seventh Level: There and Back Again
I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to continue this series, but the community has spoken in favor of doing more First Impression articles whenever I get new expansions, so let's start with this brand new deluxe box that arrived last weeked. The narrative takes us further east than we have ever been before, and … Continue reading First Impressions: A Shadow in the East

Feeling that the hunt is coming to a close, the heroes enter the treacherous marshlands, ready to capture the creature alive. Tired by … Continue reading Player card review: The Dead Marshes
The Dunland Trap is one of this quests that plays very different when you play it for the first time or if you know what will happen (it was also very funny to play a 3 player game with my brothers where I was the only one who knew the quest 🙂 ). So if … Continue reading Deckbuilding: The Dunland Trap
With the new Deluxe box being planned for next week, Hobbits are becoming even more relevant than they already are. Over the years, there have been many interations of unique Hobbit characters that we know from the books, and some that were designed by FFG themselves. With 13 different unique Hobbit characters, there are some … Continue reading Monthly Poll: July 2019
"For a while we had news and it seemed good: messages reported that Moria had been entered and a great work begun there. Then there was silence, and no word has ever come from Moria since." So one complete cycle is done and it’s a very exciting time for me as I begin a brand … Continue reading Intro to the Khazad-Dum cycle: There and Back Again
