27-site game

[Crusader22]

A buddy and I were musing about the possibility of getting all the way to Mount Doom in one 27-site mammoth game. It would be entirely Movie block, so sites 1-9 from each sub-block put together. Obviously there would need to be some rule tweaks to make it work. Maybe site 9 and 18 become sanctuaries as well. And increase the amount of overall companions allowed?

Does anyone have any ideas how they'd make this work? It'd just be for fun.

I think this would be best with 3-4 players. I agree about making 9 and 18 sanctuaries and you may need to mess with roaming costs, and I'm not sure how. Maybe make at each "sub-block", roaming resets. Would take testing.

I'd consider making 9 and 18 some sort of "super-sanctuary," allowing the Free Peoples to resurrect 1 companion. Discard piles are obviously going to need to be shuffled back into the deck (maybe also at sites 9 and 18 to discourage super-discard decks finding what they need whenever they need it? Or not, w/e), so any sweet loot that those companions need will come back eventually. That's my main suggestion. Good luck!

If you want to play with more thematic, play with 3 Block decks: one FOTR, one TTT and one ROTK for each player.

At site 9 from FOTR, you can:
- Remove half of the burdens (rounded up).
- Remove all your deck and discard pile and replace it with your TTT deck.
- Keep the FOTR companions (with all their items and wounds), you can play your starting companions from your TTT deck.

It's similar at site 9 from TTT with the ROTK deck.


You have only 9 overall companions for the whole adventure .
