The Drowned Ruins

After finding your way to the Temple of the Deceived in the previous scenario, you are faced with a long cave system that has large portions underwater. This starts off one of the easier quests in the cycle, that has a pretty standard strategy in order to beat it. That doesn't mean it isn't fun … Continue reading The Drowned Ruins →

Across the Ettenmoors

In the Q&A of March this year, I got asked what my favourite quest was, I answered that for the Angmar Awakened cycle, it was Intruders in Chetwood. I stand corrected: this, this is my favourite quest of the cycle. Across the Ettenmoors brings giant (literally and figuratively) enemies and doubles down on the side-quests … Continue reading Across the Ettenmoors →

The Wastes of Eriador

The Wastes of Eriador kicks off the Angmar Awakened cycle with a pretty long, challenging, and aggressive scenario. The story so far is that your heroes have aided a Dunedain by the name of Iarion to help ambush a war party of orcs headed for Bree-land. Upon successful ambush and pursuit of survivors into the … Continue reading The Wastes of Eriador →

Deadmen’s Dike

The final quest of the Deluxe box takes place in the ruins of Fornost, where the Rangers are taken by surprise by a hoard of Undead. This quest is unique as players can now also be eliminated when their deck runs out of cards. To make this a real threat, the encounter deck focuses on … Continue reading Deadmen’s Dike →

Nightmare Hunt for Gollum

For many, Hunt for Gollum was their first Adventure pack, but it left the players a bit disappointed. The quest was very swingy with early cardpool cards and became easy in the later life of the game. To make the quest more interesting, the Nightmare version was released a few years after the regular AP. … Continue reading Nightmare Hunt for Gollum →

Intruders in Chetwood

As the first quest of the new Angmar Awakened cycle, this was the first time for many players to come into contact with encounter side-quests. This quest was perfect for those, as there is just 1 main quest stage that has to be defeated, but the enemy is giving you side quests that hurt you … Continue reading Intruders in Chetwood →
