Council of Elrond

We were 8 players, but we decided to play 4 rounds.
Denis claimed his first great victory in an official tournament.
Like last year, the success rate for the scenarios has been very high : 63% (20/32) !
So, maybe the 90 mn rule is no longer necessary, or the hazards strategies should be enhanced by the players ?

Oh, congrats Denis.
I had tried the Seventh Palantir several times in Hamburg but did not manage to success even once.

Report is wrong about this : Denis' scenario was Stones of Feanor

Here are a couple of tactical tips learnt from Denis during this tournament:
- Start with 23 points worth of characters. You will be able to do more things than opponents who start with 20 pts or less
- Make sure that you draw your wizard and 2 fellowships in your starting hand. This makes it much more difficult for your opponent to kill or corrupt your characters



And I nearly forgot Another important tactical tip: corruption points on your characters does not matter as long as you do not miss a single corruption check in the whole game!

I have made the correction. But "The Seventh Palantir" was written on Denis tournament sheet.

Which means that he did not complete his scenario in any of the 4 rounds, leaving him with 8 Tournament Points only...

He has made a difficult scenario four times, so he have the points !
When I have asked to him "what is your scenario ?", he answered "Palantir", so I have written "7th Palantir", but it was not this scenario...
