Not sure about some tutorial decks, they must be bigger than 30-30 otherwise players will have no card at site 6 or 7.

Maybe 2 decklists of 40-40 cards with cards from Boosters could be a good solution :
- one supplementary copy of each FP event (10 cards)
- a full set of Wargs or Trolls (15 cards)

Hmmm, that's right, as Hatred Rekindled makes the deck run out very quickly. :(

The supplementary FP events is a very good answer, as it comes from the Booster deck and there's no need of any additional card to be bought. :up:

For only 2 players, there is only 1 Troll Pack and only 1 Wargs Pack. So a random choice can be a natural answer. Just like the versions of Bilbo and Gandalf are chosen randomly. And both packs have possessions to learn how they behave.

There it is. 40 cards per side. :)

I prefer two well constructed decks so the players can handle simply the game.

If I remember correctly, there was a rule with that if you played with starter decks, you could shuffle back your discard pile if you ran out of cards. So no need to make it bigger than 30-30. I think that regular starter decks are 25-25 actually.

Cw0rk is totally right! There was such rule. And yes, starters were around 25 cards per side, if I remember well they had a total of 60 cards including sitepath, ringbearer and ring (11 cards), so the remaining 49 were distributed among FP and Shadow (24/25)...

Anyway, it's much easier to add 5 cards to the Shadow side (30/30) than to remove 5 to the FP (25/25). But it's true too that adding 5 cards to the Shadow side is much easier than to add 15 to the Shadow and 10 to the FP (40/40). So the goal is now much simpler.

Thank you Cw0rk!

With only the cards from the main deck, an introducing game isn't very insteresting.

I prefer a good strategic game for the players to test all FP events (2x in the deck now) and a competitive Shadow (Trolls or Wargs) rather than a too simple game.

In LOTR LCG, there are some recommended decklists to start the game. It could be the same way here :
1x Main Deck + 1x extra copy of each FP event + 1x list of 15 Shadow cards (Trolls or Wargs)

Moreover, with Wargs and Trolls, all cards from the main deck have utility.

It seems perfect to me that each deck has a respective full set of 15 Shadow cards of a specific culture. That should do it. And as you said, both Packs give full utility to the cards of Main Deck (Nori and Goblin Footman). :up:

After 4 years, the game is now complete.

I want to thank Durin's Heir for his contribution to the game. This game would have never been so good without you :).

Thanks!
