r/lotrlcg

Its with a heavy heart I must say for those who are new to this LCG and wanting to experience the full range of products in its original intended form must understand one simple truth.

"They have taken the bridge and the second hall. We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes, drums... drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A shadow lurks in the dark. We can not get out... they are coming " - Gandalf

This best describes to the current situation with new players/collectors entering into this game.

No Reprints

No MSRP prices

The path ahead is dark for those who just arrived.

May the Light of Eärendil guide our fellowship community.

As we all know, FFG had stopped printing LOTR LCG. I’d like to see if creating a petition/survey to show to FFG would make a difference in terms of reprinting.

Please fill out the pole on BGG and share this with anyone interested in the reprints.

I know that this will only be representational of people active on BGG, hopefully, it will show FFG a representational portion of those interested.

Feel free to add comments and questions. I will add anything pertinent to this post if I missed something, but I’m pretty sure these are the main expansions out-of-print.

Here’s the list of the 7 expansions:

1. The Fellowship of the Ring: Saga Expansion (2022)

2. The Dream-chaser Hero Expansion (2023)

3. The Dream-chaser Campaign Expansion (2023)

4. The Two Towers: Saga Expansion (2023)

5. Ered Mithrin Hero Expansion (2024)

6. Ered Mithrin Campaign Expansion (2024)

7. The Return of the King: Saga Expansion (2024)

NOTE: Once we have a sizable amount of responses, I will forward the link directly to FFG so they can see for themselves.

Thank you!

Lord of the Rings LCG

Includes:

Core Set (Opened)

Angmar Expansion Campaign (Sealed)

Angmar Expansion Heroes (Sealed)

The Dark of Mirkwood

Starter Decks: Riders of Rohan, Dwarve of Durin, Elves of Lorien, Defenders of Gondor.

Would snag this at around 183 dollars. Would this set give me great replay value?

I am trying to get started with LotR LCG and am looking for a specific website I browsed a couple weeks ago. I have been searching and searching and can't seem to find it anymore:

I remember it's a fanmade website with all the info about the scenarios and red-themed, with a forum-styled layout. If anyone knows which site I mean and could throw me a link I'd be very grateful :)

I’m new to the game (I know, bad timing, lol). I’ve got the revised core set and the repackaged Angmar Awakened and Dream Chaser cycles. I pulled the trigger and ordered a copy of The Two Towers because I really want to experience the LotR trilogy in this format. RotK is still at MSRP last I checked.

So, without the story and the boons/burdens, will I still be able to enjoy the Saga in campaign mode even if I don’t have the Fellowship Saga Expansion? I can’t find a deal on it at a reasonable price where I am.

By the way, if you’re okay with purchasing through Amazon, they still have it in stock for around $75.

Hi there. I’m about to make an order for some alt art heroes.

Should I be ordering 63.5mm x 89mm or 63mm x 88mm? I’ve seen a couple of differing recommendations.

Many thanks

I’ve been playing the LOTR LCG core set for a while and I’m finally getting back into it by buying more expansions. I’m looking for tips on how to best protect my collection long-term.

Right now everything is sleeved in basic clear sleeves and stored back in the original boxes. I’ve heard great things about Dragon Shields but they’d be pretty expensive to upgrade my whole collection to. Are there more affordable alternatives that still hold up well? Any storage box recommendations or other protection tips would be appreciated!

As the title says, I've just added a couple of extra things to my RingsGuide website. It's not looking to replace any of the existing key sites, just fill in a few gaps I thought could be useful:

A searchable icon identifier:

And a catalogue of proxy cards/decks with previews:

Hi all

I've had a huge amount of fun with this deck, which feels both a bit dangerous but also powerful at the same time, and I haven't seen this exact take on it so thought I'd share it here:

Lothiriel

Tactics Prince Imrahil

MOTK Contract Leadership Faramir

Visionary Leadership on Prince Imrahil

~35 ally cards of your choice, some mix of Gondor, Noble, Warrior

You bounce Gondor in and out for questing, making use of diverse when played abilities (Ithlien Lookout, Soldier of Gondor, Knight of Belfalas being key) and Warriors in combat (Boromir, Beorn). Throw in A Very Good Tale, Sneak Attack, and Gandalf.

MOTK Faramir gives you that small extra boost to ensure a lot of quest control optionality

Enjoy

Are there any hints at a reprint of the fellowship Saga for Europe? I have been looking all over for the English version. All that's left here are the German versions :(

What scenario(s) and/or decks did everyone play this past week?

What was interesting about your game(s)?

**Weekly Question**

I have recently grown to appreciate solo board gaming. It’s a way for me to get games in while I’m on the road or when I’ve got the itch for something my “play group” aka my family aren’t as much into (horror or historical games).

LOTR LCG is notable because it is widely played at the player count of one and is also very difficult, especially as a solo game. How do you handle the difficulty? House rules? Alternate game modes? Very niche deck building? Does everyone resort to playing two-handed?!

Happy Questing!

*If anyone wants to join the rotation of starting the WDYP posts please let u/kattatack22 or myself know!*

I put together a website for new players to display the basics and differences between the original and repacked content in an easy visual (That's the intention anyway).

I'm thinking about adding more pages for resources on where to find alt arts for printing and things like that.

Any feedback or suggestions welcome.
