Yes, those cards were uncharacteristically cluttered weren’t they!

I’m afraid that I really want Durin III on Dwarves of Yore, that basically being the whole point of the card, so any other suggestions?

Make it 2 cards. With 2 abilites each?

2 Laketown Boatman Gandalf
Companion • Man
Str: 6
Vit: 3
Res: 6
Fellowship: If you have exactly 6 cards in hand, discard a card from hand to reinforce a Gandalf token.
Regroup: Remove a Gandalf token to draw a card.

Fine.

3 • Laketown Rower Gandalf
Companion • Man
Str: 7
Vit: 3
Res: 6
To play, spot 2 Gandalf Men.
At the start of each skirmish involving Laketown Rower, you may reinforce a Gandalf token for each wound on each minion he is skirmishing.
They were making a raft of barrels, and the raft-elves would soon be steering it all down the stream to the Lake-town.
H3 U 69

Cool.

2 Laketown Boat Gandalf
Possession • Boat
To play, exert a Gandalf Man.
Bearer must be a Gandalf Man.
Maneuver: Spot a culture and exert bearer to take into hand a possession of that culture from your discard pile.
... boats and rowers were put at their service...
H3 U 67

Seems ok nothing special. Cut cost to 1 i think.

Neato. Gandalf could use a little more token manipulation.

Name’s kind of dull...maybe even something simple like "Rowboat of Laketown". *shrug* Unless you want this able to fetch Shadow possessions, make sure you specify FP cultures.

That’s exactly what I intended it to do! Good one for picking it up. It’s supposed to pick up all sorts of flotsam and jetsam from the lake.

No, you may (or may not) have noticed that most of the Gandalf Men cards from this set involve tokens, but I haven’t actually spoiled any cards with tokens on them. Well, that is about to change:

1 • Market Place Gandalf
Condition • Support Area
When you play this condition, you may spot a Gandalf Man to add a Gandalf token here.
Each time you play a Gandalf Man, you may add a Gandalf token here.
Fellowship: Remove 2 tokens from here or discard this condition to take a Gandalf event into hand from your discard pile.
H3 C 73

1 • Warm Welcome Gandalf
Condition • Support Area
When you play this condition, you may spot a Gandalf Man to add a Gandalf token here.
Each time you play a non-Gandalf companion, you may add a Gandalf token here.
Fellowship: Remove 2 tokens from here or discard this condition to heal a companion.
H3 C 82

1 Astonishing Enthusiasm Gandalf
Event • Fellowship
Spot 2 Gandalf Men to choose one: reinforce 2 Gandalf tokens; or remove a Gandalf token to remove a threat, draw a card, or discard a card from hand.
A large house was given up to Thorin and his company... and crowds sat outside and sang songs all day...

It’s good practice to specify the culture of a token at all times, so you should probably specify Gandalf tokens in the fellowship ability. But this looks good. Thumbs Up

Good! That’s one thing the Gandalf Men are really lacking in so far: healing.

Very important to specify Gandalf token in the second part, I think.

Reinforcing this would make it too good. As is, its balanced and nifty but once you start abusing it, it would becomes not funny. May need cost uppage to counter this.

Same comment as above so maybe up the token cost.

Lem0n: I’m going to leave them because the first one has the Rule of 4 as a limit and the two don’t work together very well (because each Gandalf Man you play is a non-Gandalf companion you can’t.

Last cards on this theme coming up, which are the last token cards, designed specifically to work with Dwarves and Elves respectively.

1 • Warriors In Armour Gandalf
Condition • Support Area
When you play this condition, you may spot a Gandalf Man to add a Gandalf token here.
Each time a Free Peoples card adds one or more threats, you may add a Gandalf token here.
Skirmish: Remove 2 tokens from here or discard this condition to make a Gandalf Man (or Dwarf) bearing a possession or artifact strength +2.
H3 U 83

1 • White Oars Gandalf
Condition • Support Area
When you play this condition, you may spot a Gandalf Man to add a Gandalf token here.
Each time your hand size goes below 4 cards, you may add a Gandalf token here.
Maneuver: Remove 2 tokens from here or discard this condition to exert a minion.
H3 U 83

I don’t like the adding trigger on Warriors In Armour, so any suggestions for a better one will be much appreciated.

After this we’re finishing off the Gandalf culture with Beorn and some Eagles.

Hmmm 4 condition all stated the same for 1 culture. Think this is too much of one thing. This one is fine too it wasnt a criticism of this card, just seems excessive.

I don’t like the adding trigger on Warriors In Armour, so any suggestions for a better one will be much appreciated.

Glad you think so cos i wasnt that struck. How about each time a free peoples cards discards a card from your hand? Works well with your gandy men doesnt it?

I think "adds any number of threats" would be good, or perhaps "at least one threat".

This one could be reinforced like crazy with proper abuse. But it’s probably okay.
