Escape from Dol Guldur

Completing our trifecta of Core Set quests, we have Escape from Dol Guldur. This quest comes with a warning from the entire veteran community to new players: Skip this quest and go back to it later when your card pool has expanded. This quest can be brutal with just Core Set decks and still proves … Continue reading Escape from Dol Guldur →

Thankfully the trend gets broken during the Angmar Awakened cycle. This scenario again focusses on finding your way through Moria. The Dwarves and Goblins have … Continue reading The Long Dark →

Into the Pit

We start off this brand new cycle with one of my personal favourite quests. I often return to this quest to test my new decks against. The quest requires you to handle combat, quest enough to pass locations, even have a solid board state (or resource generation) during the last stage. This quest doesn't have … Continue reading Into the Pit →
