The Watcher in the Water

From the original article here:  http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=2883 Frodo felt something seize him by the ankle, and he fell with a cry. Bill the pony gave a wild neigh of fear, and turned tail and dashed away along the lakeside into the darkness. Sam leaped after him, and then hearing Frodo’s cry he ran back again, weeping and cursing. The others swung round and saw the waters of the lake seething, as if a host of snakes were swimming up from the southern end.    –The Fellowship of the Ring Elrond, the Elf Lord of Rivendell, is troubled by the great numbers of...

Treading Boldly into the Mines of Khazad-dûm

From the original article here: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=2860 Gimli aided Gandalf very little, except by his stout courage. At least he was not, as were most of the others, troubled by the mere darkness in itself.    –The Fellowship of the Ring The Khazad-dûm Expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game takes the game to a whole new level–the subterranean and labyrinthine tunnels of Moria!

The Lord of the Rings: LCG, Tricks and Taunts in The Dead Marshes

Fantasy Flight Games [News] – Tricks and Taunts in The Dead Marshes:‘via Blog this’ “His Eye is now straining towards us, blind almost to all else that is moving. So we must keep it. Therein lies all our hope. This, then, is my counsel. We have not the Ring. In wisdom or great folly it has been sent away to be destroyed, lest it destroy us.

NinjaDorg’s LOTR: LCG The Hills of Emyn Muil Review

SPOILER WARNING – this review contains a whole bunch of spoilers. My expectations have been somewhat managed (i.e. lowered) by the expansion packs so far, with some middling heroes and player cards of dubious use, but there are some good player cards in this set, and appropriate to the scenario too.  Gildor almost feels like a hero all of his own, there are some other cool allies – horseys! – and the Rohan theme continues to be the clear favourite of the Mirkwood cycle. But Brand, Son of Bain, is the new Hero in The Hills of Emyn Muil and... View Article
