The second scenario in the first Hobbit box, Over Hill and Under Hill, continues the story right where the first scenario leaves off. For those interested in continuing the story using the same deck that they used in "We Must Away, Ere Break of Day," know right now that it is possible because I've done … Continue reading Over the Misty Mountains Grim
After escaping from the Watcher in the Water your fellowship finds itself in darkness of Khazad-DĂ»m. They soon become aware that the Dwarven colony has suffered some sinister fate and got beset by the goblins of Moria. But there is a greater danger in these halls. A Balrog is lurking in the shadows, waiting for … Continue reading Journey in the Dark

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

Unlike The Journey in the Dark and Shadow and Flame which also feature the Balrog, … Continue reading Flight from Moria
We start off this brand new cycle with one of my personal favourite quests. I often return to this quest to test my new decks against. The quest requires you to handle combat, quest enough to pass locations, even have a solid board state (or resource generation) during the last stage. This quest doesn't have … Continue reading Into the Pit
