I will agree to the Council on this to make it simple for the game. My argument is that a lone Half-orc has no "Man" friend to cause doubt to the viewer to give a quick comparison. That is when the hobbits were in Bree and seeing these half-orcs, there were in doubt that the person was any...

O' Valar let me not say foolish things now. Good news; both cards come from the same set and adjacent in the alphabetical order; so maybe the creators hoped our debate would be avoided. It is true that all the game's influence attempts affect a table card? (item, faction, character) already on the t...

I agree with the ruling posted here. Always felt Siege was made to add danger to the free/border holds forcing an attack no matter the choice to enter. About River; IMHO, River gives the player an option to pause the beginning of the site phase to first tap a Ranger. Then I think Siege is activated....

This is an issue I like to see posted when it would play heavily on the outcome of a game. Like to see more game notes on this forum. 1. The ruling would impact how many companies are allowed per turn. If no more than two companies are allowed, then this is simple. If no specific site card has to be...

First 11 turns in the Red Book. Only 2 players (ex Smeagol, Thorongil) yet to exhaust. Lord Thrain is one of the two. Only one company for first six turns. Avatar played on Turn 7. Thrain is alone at Wondrous Maps in Horse Plains; other dwarves went to Ered Lithui for giant ally. Mornaugrim now in h...

Here are the first 11 turns of this player minus the last 3 turns of hazard play. Will update all deck files with hazard play upon ending a Group Stage: 4,8,12,... Performing okay. 10 MP. Avatar played quickly during Turn 2. Just played Arwen at Rivendell, stayed for a turn to play a light enchantme...

The Halfelven is doing a bit subpar. Avatar played on Turn 4. First deck exhausted during Turn 10. 10 MPs in the pile. Only 3 sites used for table cards. 27 strikes rolled with 10 body checks with no deaths. Miruvor saved an elf on Turn 1. Wounds caused first four turns to be mellow. Elrond sent elv...

Glories and Trumpets!

I got my too.

Added more game stats; see end of file. Exhausted on Turn 10. Avatar played on Turn 2. Acceptable first 10 turns. Scroll of Isildur played on Turn 10; Necromancer was going to play the same item on the following turn. Mistress Lobelia now in play, so the The Shire Four Farthing Tour will commence. S...

ASSESSMENT after Turn 10 Grade: Acceptable. Reason: Exhausted deck on Turn10, Avatar played on Turn 1. Deep Mountain Fortress and palantir played, no major deaths, 13 MP, hobbit ally in play. Disappointed: Only tapped four sites, no hobbit characters in play. With few table cards in playdeck, travel...

51 weeks later, 10 turns are in the books for 50 players. Reading the books again had me thinking how Saruman forgot about Treebeard. A major change will now happen in the game: Scatha's Ring cards are given to Throkmaw for his Under-deeps cards. yes, this change will happen now with changes to the ...

First, 10 turns now completed for game. Half have exhausted first deck; almost all will exhaust next turn. Not feeling good for this Smeagol player; so I updated/added cards listed below after reading Book 1, FoTR again. LIkely will exchange cards, next game, between Scatha and Throkmaw so to have S...

Deck 1 has exhausted during Turn 10. Good action with items and MP events. Kept Bolg away from CvCC often. Like to have more dwarf characters using Naugol and R.A.Enemy. Defeated a Slayer creature. Tapped 8 sites. Faced few strikes. Going well on resource side. Played 27 hazards and 3 agent actions....

First deck exhausted during Turn 9. Earned 12 MPs vs. Dark Dwarf 15 MPs. His items/factions are just a single MP. 5 SP in play. Again, added the play of hazards. sroll is for heros to track strikes faced; mroll is there for minions. I think starting Turn 9 started to put site in use by main hazard p...
