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
This scenario has been a favorite of the community since it came out. So many people like the randomness of the fourth stage, and the mid-game reset, that this quest is usually proposed when the age-old question comes up: "What are the four of us going to play today?". The artwork in this quest is … Continue reading Nightmare Foundations of Stone
Lord of the Rings: The Card Game has experimented a lot over the years with different formats for quests, which has contributed to keeping the game fresh and interesting. The setting has varied widely in terms of theme and quest structure, yet the base premise of the game has remained familiar: One (or more) quest … Continue reading Challenge of the Wainriders
Rounding out the NM Khazad-Dum pack, the final quest from the box gets a major overhaul with this Nightmare version. The original Flight from Moria was, in my eyes, the weakest quest from the Deluxe box because it could either last just 1 round or take forever to clear if you got unlucky with the … Continue reading Nightmare Flight from Moria
Across the Ettenmoors used to be a quite enjoyable quest when it was released. It used fairly interesting mechanics and had a pretty distinctive feel to it, but it was quite a bit too easy. The nightmare deck changes that, and by how much I'll explain in this article. Nightmare Across the Ettenmoors Found in: … Continue reading Nightmare Across the Ettenmoors
This is it. You traveled through the wilds of Rhovanion, hunted down a cold-drake in the Withered Heath, protected a town from a dragon, fought against ancient spirits in Framsburg and claimed the sword Wormsbane to finally defeat Dagnir, one of the most dangerous dragons since Smaug was killed. But the sword you found was … Continue reading Mount Gundabad
Between the big battles with Dragon enemies in this cycle, there is a slightly easier scenario early in the cycle. During Roam Across Rhovanion, you are enlisted by the Goblin Urdug to retrieve some of his stuff. In return, he will reveal a secret entrance into Mount Gundabad that you can use to sneak into … Continue reading Roam Across Rhovanion
With the new Wilds of Rhovanion Deluxe box taking a lot of inspiration from the original Core Set scenarios, a reworked version of Passage through Mirkwood was inevitable. The quest is the first one that any new player plays when they dive into this game, and it has a reputation of being the easiest quest … Continue reading Lost in Mirkwood
When fans of J.R.R. Tolkien are asked to consider what scene is the most iconic in his legendarium, Riddles in the Dark easily ranks among them. This scene has it all; mystery, suspense, an eerie setting, the creepy Gollum, and the hero of "The Hobbit," Bilbo Baggins. The game also contains all these, and a … Continue reading Dungeons Deep and Caverns Dim
In many community polls, a common question is what their favourite scenario is. And besides all of the saga ones, Flight of the Stormcaller is one of those quests. And for good reason too, this time we are chasing Sahir and his fleet after they raided Mithlond. We are racing to catch up to their … Continue reading Flight of the Stormcaller
