The designers of this game are always looking to expand their roster of traits; this means that sometimes, we get traits just briefly mentioned in the original novels. One of these are the Woodmen of Mirkwood, who got a synergy late in the game's life despite being around since the days of the Ringmaker cycle. … Continue reading Woodmen
Spirit Sphere (Core set)
After "combat sphere" and "leading sphere" comes to a scene sphere, which sidelines the combat aspect absolutely and provides us the advantage in another way. And Leadership or Tactic sphere couldn't help you in "that way" to such extent, as Spirit sphere. The fight isn't engaged only in the "combat area" right before your characters, … Continue reading Spirit Sphere (Core set)
Month in review: January 2019
Guess I will start by wishing everyone a happy new year. Here's hoping that 2019 will be another great year for the community. For the first month, the blog has certainly been busy, so it looks like this year will turn out great. A lot of things happened this month on the blog itself, from … Continue reading Month in review: January 2019
Monthly Poll: January 2019
There are a lot of allies in the card pool at this time with a stat distribution that makes them versatile in any situation. With 2 willpower they can contribute to the quest while making a measurable impact on that quest. 2 attack allows them to join in on combined attacks in order to kill … Continue reading Monthly Poll: January 2019
The Battle of Carn Dรปm
As of current writing, Lord of the Rings: The card game has over a hundred quests available for play. This game is not easy, and even veteran players will face frequent losses if they don't bring A-level decks. But over the years, some quests have gained reputations for being especially difficult. We all remember the … Continue reading The Battle of Carn Dรปm
Tactic Sphere (Core set)
The next sphere, which comes after the "Leader", specializes in the combat and everything connected with it. Sometimes the easiest way is the best way, how to deal with the menaces of the encounter deck. If you need to deal with all these nasty badasses, orcs, spiders, trolls, or even darker servants of evil, call … Continue reading Tactic Sphere (Core set)
First Year Anniversary
Exactly one year ago to this day, the first article appeared on the young Vision of the Palantir blog. Since then, the blog has grown to bea hub for several content creators, sharing their content with the community. In this article I want to reflect a little on the past year, and get some thank-yous … Continue reading First Year Anniversary
Leadership Sphere (Core set)
Let me introduce myself.:) My name is Radovan Beลo (alias silblade222 here) and I'm coming from the Czech Republic. My first experience with LOTR LCG was on Christmas 2015, where I have got my first Core set. In that day, I hadn't any idea, how deeply and with which passion I will immerse to this … Continue reading Leadership Sphere (Core set)
Voyage Across Belegaer
As we kick off this brand new cycle, we get right away one of my favourite quests in the game. During Voyage of Belegaer, players are introduced to the new mechanics of the cycle, involving sailing tests and ship objectives/enemies. I like this quest because of the replayability, as well as the fact that it … Continue reading Voyage Across Belegaer
Harad
The fun thing about this game is that it dares to go beyond the regular factions when it comes to player cards for this game. Instead, it shows that not everything in Middle Earth is light and dark, good and evil. There is also a grey area in between and characters can switch sides halfway … Continue reading Harad
