Greetings!

I have just finished playing the first quest of TH:OHaUH, and, well, I feel a bit... weird. I usaly don't mind being out-of-theme, especially if it is mandatory to beat some quest while playing solo, but for the saga ones I really wanted to be, if not on-theme, at least not completly off (say, playing Denethor or Boromir or Frodo would simply won't make any sense). So I tried all kind of decks with 3 dwarves heroes that come with the pack... but... how can I say this? I think I don't find dwarf deck that fun to play...? Or maybe I found the first quest of this Saga too close to Conflict at the Carrock but a little less fun...?

So my point is :

Do you guys have good ideas for decks (or, simply, decks!) that are both on theme for this Saga box and fun to play..? I really *want* to love this scenario, but for now it just fall short...

Thanks

I played that box with only the cards available at the time and beat it. It did require specific deck building especially for the Gollum quest. I think I used Thorin, Ori and Nori.

Which cards do you have? If you have Dwarrowdelf/Mirkwood/Hobbit only, don't want to play a dwarf deck, and want to use only heroes that are alive and could conceivably travel together at the time of the hobbit, it limits your options considerably.

Maybe I am just whining. The thing is, and maybe I should have reflected it more before writing stuff down, is that I found the quest a (little) boring, and I just feel bad about this. Some quest I enjoy less than others - The Long Dark, The Dead Marshes, The Hunt for Gollum, Blood of Gondor - and it's ok. But this is suppose to enact a book I discovered when I was 9 or 10, and, so to speak "changed my life forever". I *wanted* to love this scenario so bad! Just a misplaced guilt I suppose... And I thought : well, maybe I don't play it the "right way". What is the "right way"? Of course there is no answer to this question, the question itself is bad...

Yet I've played the second quest (Over Misty Mountains Grim?) and - even though a little easy - this was FUN.

Now I want to try to play through the first quest with Thorin as the only hero (along with Bilbo...). Good quest for trying these kind of experimental deck, I think.
