A lighthearted yet informative exploration of the game we adore. Featuring discussion on cards & quests, our various adventures in and out of Middle-earth, as well as offering advice for new players and veterans alike.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic pod
My only qualm with this podcast is that it’s unfinished. I much prefer this LOTR LCG podcast over others like Card Talk because they tackle the game in a progression style. Their banter is great and I love how they go about discussing cards, strategies, etc. If you ever find time to finish the series John and Em, I implore you to do so!
Perfect companion podcast to the game
John and Em are very fun to listen to and provide a great insight into this game from a newcomer’s perspective. They also cover many commonly misunderstood rules. I adore their ability to interpret the thematic designs of the cards, proving that this game is more than just a deckbuilding puzzle to solve provided you slow down and use a bit of imagination.
A Great Resource
I’m just getting back into the LOTR LCG and found this podcast, which has been a great companion to my forays into soloing these quests. It’s been a fantastic resource and I sincerely hope they continue producing episodes.
