I have made it no secret that this is one of my least favorite quests in the game. It punishes players hard for playing cards, having resources, and also not having resources. In multiplayer, the quest can start with 30 points of Archery at the start of the game, and the switch to Siege questing … Continue reading Nightmare The Drúadan Forest
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.

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
