He only wept and called us cruel, with many a gollum in his throat; and when we pressed him he whined and cringed, and rubbed his long hands, licking his fingers as if they pained him.   –J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the RingGollum has been found! After racing through The Hills of Emyn Muil to pursue the elusive creature’s most recent signs of movement, the heroes of Middle-earth catch first sight of him in The Dead Marshes, the fifth Adventure Pack for The Lord of the Rings:...

LOTR: LCG Massing at Osgiliath Review

Massing at Osgiliath Warning: this review contains a whole bunch of spoilers. After the overwhelming response to my review of the then-new and interesting Hunt for Gollum: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/7024671#7024671 followed by the underwhelming response to my review of the rather disappointing Conflict at the Carrock: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/691006/disappointing-solo-single-deck-experience hopefully this review will leave you feeling averagely whelmed. First off, I haven’t played A Journey to Rhosgobel yet so this is only the third LOTR expansion I’ve experienced so far.  But I can categorically state that it is by far the best scenario yet, including the core set scenarios.  I didn’t think I’d immediately...

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Conflict at the Carrock Review

Disappointing solo single deck experience ‘Conflict at the Carrock’ arrived from Maelstrom Games last night. Anyone who has ordered this from them along with at least one other item will want to split their order as it is their policy to send out everything at once. For me this meant I’d apparently have to wait five months before they sent me any of the LOTR expansion packs. Good job I phoned them. Or was it? I’m not trying to rip on this game – I love it, I’m an addict. Anyone who’s read my session reports or seen my fan... View Article
