yes, i forget where it is on here,(probably the gamplay questions) but they can bear a ring while bearing the one ring. and it makes sense, they have ten fingers... Laughing

and it is not really a ring. (i know that sounds weird) but it doesn’t say "ring" in the part of the card that tells what type it is. so it’s really just a thing. so that is what the card game should be called Lord of the Things TCG.

That’s what I thought, but I wanted to make sure.

Good stuff.

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!

Yup, there’s no rule against the Ring-bearer wearing another Ring. It’s quite common to see a Ring of Fury on Gimli, Bearer of Grudges against corruption decks, for example.

Personally, I think it’s way too costly. Compared to The Ring of Rings, actually using The Binding Ring makes Gimli’s resistance less by four. IMO it is much better to have 4 copies of RoA (anyway, where will you get your strength bonuses from?)

and of course, Ring-bearer can wear ’another’ ring (who doesn’t play Nenya, Ring of Adamant on his/her Galadriel?)

Hm...I’m thinking of a macho Durin idea.

4x Ring of Accretion
4x Ring of Fury
4x Ring of Guile
4x Ring of Retribution
4x Ring of Artifice

Heavy Axe
Hand Axe
Dwarven Bracers
Well-Crafted Armor
Arod, Rohirrim Steed
Book of Mazarbul

And then of course

Proud and able

Discard all the rings except one ring of artifice. Stack everything on Durin III. He is strength 37.

I *could* use frodo, if that’s an issue. Esp. the 12 resistance one. Or I could use something like Proud and Able to give him more resistance.

It’s just an easier way to pull rings, but you are right, it is a bit costly.

nice idea, but what will you do with 2 or more minions Question (or maybe something is missing in your deck)

Maybe with Preparations and that card that shuffles conditions with cards on them into your draw deck...
