Silly Frodo.
It’s a good think I ain’t drinking any milk, or I’d look like the picture after reading that. for the laugh.
Neat card. Find some way to make it cheaper or get lots of twilight, and it becomes a potential gamebreaker...especially against small (or solo ) fellowships. Awesome.
But I can’t quite bring myself to give it a 5, simply because it is SO expensive. I’ll settle for a 4. |

Check out Lasting Alliances, The Road Ahead, and Ages of Middle-earth, three of my five dream card sets that make up Wars of the Ring. Oh, and I have a trade list now!
Also, if you're into DCs or RPGs (or even if you're not!), check out Realms of Middle-earth, the sequel to CG's "DC Adventure", Realms of the North! |

10 is not so hard to get if you play gollum, dark as darkness. just remove a few burdens in the regroup phase, the same you added with not yet vanquished |

Rewording suggestion: "...to make the Free Peoples player place a companion in the dead pile and return a companion to hand." Why wouldn’t that work? |

Possibly with corsairs? Add tokens to the boat that adds twilight in the regroup phase for as many tokens as you can spot. 4 copies of shelob and this card. Rest Corsairs? |

My only question is about what happens if the Free Peoples player chooses the RB as one of the companions as well as say Aragorn, and then chooses to put Aragorn in the dead pile. What happens next? The RB can’t be returned to hand, but I’m pretty sure that you’re just supposed to carry out as much of the effect as possible and so you would just skip it. That kinda would make it worse, unless Decipher clarified it.

Ummm... I am wondering about this too, AC. I am thinking more along the lines that if you choose Frodo to be one of the two you have to choose him to be the dead one since you aren’t allowed to return your ring-bearer to your hand. Oh dear! |

To quote a very illustrious poster...

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with this suggested wording? |

Nothing. Near as I can tell.
Other than the fact that it would be gramatically correct, and even has the right spellings; D seems to be becoming rather opposed to that type of stuff.

Never kid about politicians. The more bizarre the joke, the more likely it is to come true. |
