Nightmare The Wastes of Eriador

With winter creeping closer day by day, it is time to revisit one of the best quests from this cycle: The Wastes of Eriador. This quest is notorious for being quite difficult in its regular version, thanks to the Day/Night mechanic that limits your progress and brings out more enemies each other turn. But the … Continue reading Nightmare The Wastes of Eriador →

Nightmare The Treachery of Rhudaur

After a "short" break (I planned to have this article ready on Halloween 2020), we advance in our Angmar Awakened nightmare series to another great quest. The Treachery of Rhudaur was already fun with multiple players, but it always used to be a little less fun while playing only one deck. Since it came out, … Continue reading Nightmare The Treachery of Rhudaur →

The Stone of Erech

Unearthly it looked, as though it had fallen from the sky, as some believed...The Return of the King This quest is another Print on Demand (POD) quest which focuses on finding Lamedon lord's lost son.

Of the three splinter factions of the Kingdom of Arnor, Rhudaur was the first to fall to the Witch-King during his conquest of the north.

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.

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 →

The Nรฎn-in-Eilph

This quest is in my eyes the most frustrating of the cycle, and many players tend to agree with that. Even much so, that just mentioning Nin sends shivers down the spines of many players who have been stuck in this marsh for 12 turns, only to be eaten by the boss shortly after. This … Continue reading The Nรฎn-in-Eilph →
