Celebrimbor’s Secret

The latest line of Middle Earth video games, the Shadow of Mordor series, featured this legendary Elven smith. But now it is time for our heroes to search the ruins of his city for a ring mould. This quest is one of the more enjoyable quests of this cycle to me and features a nice … Continue reading Celebrimbor’s Secret →

Flight to the Ford

Frodo has been griefly wounded by a Morgul Blade during the fight against the NazgĂ»l at Weathertop.

Into Fangorn

Into Fangorn is one of those quests that you tend to forget about. It didn't really stand out at the time, as a lot of players were struggling to capture Mugash in the previous scenario. Since the Dunland Trap was released soon after, this quest didn't get much attention. That is not to say that … Continue reading Into Fangorn →

Trouble in Tharbad

This is a real gem of a quest in this cycle. It is not very difficult and is the go-to quest for any deck that wants to include some Secrecy cards. The quest also introduced us to the biggest let-down in terms of objective allies, Nalir the Dwarf. This objective is anything but helpful during … Continue reading Trouble in Tharbad →

In this quest you will take on the role of the heroes sneaking to the Misty Mountains, looking for Mugash with the ever-present … Continue reading To Catch an Orc →

The Fords of Isen

Doubling down on the narrative aspects introduced in the Against the Shadow cycle, the Voice of Isengard deluxe expansion and the following Ringmaker cycle sees the players and their heroes meeting the white wizard Saruman himself and running several errands for him, which will eventually lead to a sinister conclusion. This deluxe also features the … Continue reading The Fords of Isen →
