With the end of another month in sight, we come to the conclusion of this month's poll on the blog.

Player card review: Conflict at the Carrock

While searching for Gollum along the banks of the Anduin, the heroes hear rumours of a group of Trolls that have come to the Carrock, bringing chaos and strife to the valley. The Beornings, led by Grimbeorn the Old, are known as the peacekeepers in the area, so the heroes set out to find Grimbeorn … Continue reading Player card review: Conflict at the Carrock →

First Impressions: Mount Gundabad

After some delay from my FLGS, I finally received the fifth adventure pack of the Ered Mithrin cycle today and I integrated most of the player cards into my decks. There are some really strong cards here, that will remain relevant for a long time. This pack focuses a bit more on the Hobbit trait, … Continue reading First Impressions: Mount Gundabad →

The Temple of the Deceived

Every once in a while, the developers make a scenario that is radically different than usual. Quests like Foundations of Stone or Flight of the Stormcaller have separate staging area's, and quests like Steward's Fear have an interesting way to add replayability while also adding more loss conditions. Noticed any trends between those three quests … Continue reading The Temple of the Deceived →

The Caves of Nibin-Dรปm

You have chased the Goblins through Mirkwood, and into their caves. However, the caves go on, deeper into the ground, into a forgotten dwarf-realm. You light a torch and press on, eager to fulfil the oath you swore to the Woodsmen. But as you venture into the depths of dim caverns, you realize that the … Continue reading The Caves of Nibin-Dรปm →

Steward

In this game, we have the leading commanders with the Noble trait. But above all others stands the King. But as the King of Gondor took a holiday to Minas Morgul that he came to regret, we are left with the line of Stewards. This is reflected in the game through the Steward trait, which … Continue reading Steward →
