Journey in the Dark

After escaping from the Watcher in the Water your fellowship finds itself in darkness of Khazad-Dûm. 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 →

The Ring Goes South

It has been decided. A fellowship will set out from Rivendell to deliver the One Ring to its destruction in the cracks of Mount Doom. The walkers set out to brave the pass of the Redhorn Gate but are driven back by the might of Caradhras and have to set out towards the Doors of … Continue reading The Ring Goes South →

Shadow and Flame

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 →

Foundations of Stone

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 →

The Long Dark

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 →

Flight from Moria

Flight from Moria is an outrageous quest. It may not be precise, balanced and perfect game design, but it gives you the panicky, rushed, and uncertain feel that seems to perfectly represent the flight from the unknown Shadow and Flame. Unlike The Journey in the Dark and Shadow and Flame which also feature the Balrog, … Continue reading Flight from Moria →

The Seventh Level

This is another one of those quests that I frequently come back to. I usually play this quest solo with a combat heavy deck. The number of enemies that can be revealed in this scenario is crazy, which makes it the perfect quest to bring Tactics Legolas and other combat-related cards. The Seventh Level is … Continue reading The Seventh Level →

Into the Pit

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 →
