Rules/FAQ for this section

[Manuel]

Welcome to the Rules Questions & Debate section of the CoE Forum. This is the place for players to ask their rules questions to the community.

Non-official

In this board you will find people happy to answer rules questions for you. However, keep in mind that the answers provided here are not official. The only official answers are those in a Ruling Digest posted by the Netrep or the Rules Oversight Committee.


What to do when you think the existing official answer is wrong or incomplete

Yes, this happens a lot, actually much more than we'd like to. Whenever you want to answer a question, but you know your answer is contradicting the existing official rules, please indicate that in your answer. Otherwise things can get very confusing, especially to newcomers. The Rules Oversight Committee would also appreciate if you can send us an email with the ruling that you think is wrong, and we'll look into it and make the appropriate corrections.


How to get an official answer

We have opened a new email address where you can send your rules questions. However, before sending your question, please first:

1) Read the current rules carefully.
2) Check the CRF, a document containing rulings, clarifications, and errata.
3) Check the Rules Digests to see if your question has already been answered.
4) Check the different channels where players answer rules questions (Council of Elrond forum, Discord Group, Facebook Group, BGG site, etc) Many questions are already answered there.
5) Make sure your question is based on actual situations that could happen in a game; finding impossibly weird card interactions might be fun, but the ROC has to prioritize actual problems that might arise during tournament games.

If you still can't find the answer to your question, or you need an official answer, you can send it to the ROC via this address:

meccgroc[at]gmail.com

When we receive your question, the ROC members will add it to their to-do list and do their best to find a proper answer. Whenever we have a batch of questions and answers ready to be published, we will publish them in the form of a new Digest, and that answer will be official.
