Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.

Quest: The reputation of this quest precedes it. Anyone who does a bit of reading on this game should be well aware that it is considered the most difficult quest, possibly excepting the last couple of the final cycle and maybe a PoD. And it lives up to its hype. Is this a good thing? I’d say yes. Just as the game needs a quest per cycle that’s on the easy side to allow casual play and deck building experimentation it also needs its big bad challenges to test the mettle of the strongest decks you can build. Is it fun? Obviously not for casual play, but by the time you’re this deep into the game you should at least appreciate a good challenge. Player Cards: Hero Amarthiùl is a linchpin of many Dunedain decks. There are a couple of cards like Favor of the Valar that have very important functions in certain decks. And a number of others are situationally interesting. Not the greatest pack but solid. Ratings: If I were to rate any expansions to this game in the context of board/card games as a whole, they'd get an 8,9 or 10 because they are part of a game that I give a 10 to overall. However, on a separate scale within just this game system, I'd give this an 8 for the quest (with the caveat that it’s more challenging than fun) and a 7 for the cards.

This scenario is very hard - one of the most difficult ones in the entire LotRCG universe. It took me many many tries to get a deck which was barely able to win 50% of the games.

The fifth cycle of expansions continues adding more awesomeness to Lord of the Rings LCG, in form of new heroes, cards for the decks, and new quests. The Battle of Carn Dûm contains a bunch of new cards for the players decks like the new hero Amarthiul, or the new Spirit ally Lindir. The scenario itself is the most difficult ever created. Nothing more has to be said.
