Continuing on my way through the Against the Shadow quests for The Lord of the Rings card game, I’ve reached Encounter at Amon-Dîn. This pack took a very long time to arrive at Goodgames Ballarat – some months, in fact after it was meant to. Despite being extremely impatient for it to arrive, I haven’t gotten around to playing it until now. The story of … Continue reading Encounter at Amon-Dîn – The Lord of the Rings card game
After the major difficulty with completing The Steward’s Fear, The Drúadan Forest proved a much simpler animal to tame. I went into it with the same deck that I used in the previous scenario, and after one game where I was entirely destroyed within three turns due to a particularly nasty draw, the next game saw my band of Elrond, Glorfindel and Beravor easily defeat … Continue reading The Drúadan Forest – The Lord of the Rings Card Game
Hooray! Barely a couple of hours since I wrote of my week of failing to get through The Steward’s Fear, I’ve managed to complete it. Once. I’m not sure if the deck could do it again, but once is enough for now. Once I’ve succeeded at all the LotR quests, there’ll be time to go back and try and do them better. J The deck … Continue reading Finished “The Steward’s Fear”! – The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

Each new expansion presents a new scenario to play against. The early ones are moderately easy, but … Continue reading Stuck on the Steward’s Fear – Lord of the Rings: the Card Game
The third scenario of the Heirs of Numenor expansion is extremely unusual: it’s the first scenario that really, really wants you to build a single-sphere deck to complete it with. And that sphere would be Battle. Cards like The Master’s Malice (Each player chooses a sphere and then deals 3 damage to each character they control that isn’t of that sphere), Orc Arbalesters (at the … Continue reading The Siege of Cair Andros report – The Lord of the Rings: the Card Game
I’m terribly behind with my play of the Lord of the Rings LCG. My solo gaming time is way down, in any case, with LotR particularly affected. I’ve continued buying packs as they get released, however, because you get days like today when I find myself with the urge to return to the game. Into Ithilien, the second scenario of the Heirs of Numenor expansion, … Continue reading Into Ithilien report – The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game
