The Vale of the Anduin is home to many people and creatures, but none are as fierce as the Beornings. This trait was introduced in the Core Set with the most famous of these sturdy men: Beorn the Skin-changer. Since the Core Set days, not much has happened with the Beornings, until the narrative brought … Continue reading Beorning
As we start the new cycle, the narrative of the game picks up as well. We will now get full chapters of non-canon flavour text to inform the players of their tasks and gives a bit of backstory to the quest. It is with that knowledge that we come to Gondor, the port-city of Pelargir … Continue reading Peril in Pelargir
This cycle goes out with a bang as you are faced with your toughest opponent yet: The Balrog of Moria, Durin's Bane. This absolute beast of an enemy will be the centre point of this scenario. This scenario features many treacheries that will boost Durin's Bane to absolutely crazy stats, making the task of killing … Continue reading Shadow and Flame
A question that gets asked quite often in the community is how people store their cards. This game can get out of hand really fast, and players can get buried underneath a mountain of cards before long. There are a lot of different storage solutions on the market, and many players prefer different brands. I … Continue reading Storage Solutions

This is a quest that is still very popular with veteran players. It is also a nice quest to play with some newer players who have at least some practice before playing this quest. Foundations of Stone is one of the most enjoyable quests to me because of a clear split between the early and … Continue reading Foundations of Stone
This quest was made even before the Saga expansions were announced, so in order to relive the movies a little, the developers gave us this quest where you will battle the Tentacles from the Watcher in the Water. This enemy will make its return during the Saga scenario's in The Ring Goes South, as the … Continue reading The Watcher in the Water
While the occupation traits have not seen a lot of synergy yet, we have seen quite a lot of Crafts(wo)men in this game. We even had one in the Core Set. They have been sprinkled between packs but are still awaiting a synergy. The craftsmen might prove useful during the upcoming cycle since it will … Continue reading Craftsmen
Every cycle has a less enjoyable scenario, and it usually is the fourth one. Emyn Muil, Long Dark, Assault on Osgiliath, and Nin-in-Eilph aren't really the highlights of their cycles. Thankfully the trend gets broken during the Angmar Awakened cycle. This scenario again focusses on finding your way through Moria. The Dwarves and Goblins have … Continue reading The Long Dark
