Nightmare The Siege of Cair Andros

The final quest of the Heirs of Numenor Deluxe is also often deemed the most difficult. And that is saying something, as the other two aren't considered a walk in the park either. But the Siege of Cair Andros is a different beast altogether. You have to defend 3 locations from being destroyed, and if you can … Continue reading Nightmare The Siege of Cair Andros →

Nightmare Into Ithilien

Into Ithilien has always been a roadblock for players. For those that are playing progression mode, this was the next biggest challenge after Escape from Dol Guldur. The scenario introduced a bunch of new mechanics, a split path to tread down, and the infamous Mumak enemies that would come back here and there during the … Continue reading Nightmare Into Ithilien →

The Black Serpent

One of the best things of this game is that it can dive deep into passing mentions of places and characters that were in the books. This cycle is a prime example of this, since we don't know much about Harad from the books. It has led us to the great jungles that were only … Continue reading The Black Serpent →

The Crossings of Poros

The Crossings of Poros is to me a legendary quest for more than one reason. Release was incredibly delayed in Europe, and we had to wait months to get the pack compared to our friends in the Americas. It had a spectacular misprint, forgetting to add a unique symbol to the hero of the pack … Continue reading The Crossings of Poros →

Escape from Umbar

The Haradrim cycle picks up right where the Dream-chaser cycle has left us. No month long skip to the next area, no, you are dropped in Umbar during City of Corsairs, and now you need to get out. This is done in a fast paced quest with a lot of enemies and all new cards … Continue reading Escape from Umbar →

Assault on Osgiliath

This was the second time in short succession that the players were at Osgiliath. With the memory of Massing at Osgiliath fresh in their memory, players set out to retake the city after they fled from it during the POD quest. This scenario is again all about locations, as each cycle has one of those … Continue reading Assault on Osgiliath →

Into Ithilien

This quest set the standard for the difficulty for this cycle. Progression style players often get stuck banging their heads against this scenario that requires players to quest hard out of the gate while also being able to kill a host of tough enemies. The encounter deck does provide players with a bit of help … Continue reading Into Ithilien →
