Without it we cannot by force defeat his force. But we must at all costs keep his Eye from his true peril. We cannot achieve victory by arms, but by arms we can give... View Article

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
