This quest has a special place on the blog, as it was the very first article ever released that was not written by me. Bgamerjoe took up the challenge when I asked around the community all those years ago and created a pretty solid analysis of the quest. Still, in order to bring this quest … Continue reading Conflict at the Carrock

Nightmare Foundations of Stone
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

Journey Along the Anduin
The next article fit for a remastered version is this Core Set classic that is still enjoyed by players to this day. Journey along the Anduin is one of the most played scenarios by the community, and deserves a proper in depth look. If you would want to read the original article from 2.5 years … Continue reading Journey Along the Anduin
The River Running
As the first scenario of a new cycle, the quest is meant to introduce new mechanics in a slightly easier format to give players a solid quest to beat without it taking a million attempts. Especially in this Vengeance of Mordor cycle, the River Running strikes me as the easiest quest of the entire cycle, … Continue reading The River Running
Nightmare Across the Ettenmoors
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
Nightmare Conflict at the Carrock
Fog is not unusual in Wilderland, particularly at this time of year. All the same, there is something ominous about the wall of grey which has crept in overnight. It blankets the Anduin from all sides, stretching almost to the eaves of Mirkwood. A sniff of the air brings nervous anticipation. This is no ordinary … Continue reading Nightmare Conflict at the Carrock
Journey Up the Anduin
During the tournament in 2018 that determined the community's favourite quests at that moment, Journey along the Anduin ended in fifth place. This Core Set classic has always been a community darling, since it was the first proper challenge that we collectively faced. While the Nightmare version did increase the difficulty of the quest, the … Continue reading Journey Up the Anduin
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
Nightmare Journey Along the Anduin
I think that the normal Journey Along the Anduin quest may just be the quest that has been played the most by the community as a group. Not just because the scenario is enjoyable, but also because of the many resets that players will go through during their playthrough because of the shear difficulty spike … Continue reading Nightmare Journey Along the Anduin
