I would like to thank all of you who have helped me every step - your comments, tips, and suggestions have been most appreciated, and I look forward to your participation in the future!
I’ll be posting all of the  cards after these have received a few reviews. If I can get around 3-4, we may even begin to spoil the next culture I’ve decided on -  !
Anyway, on with the final cards!

change the shadow ability to a "when you play this minion" ability. because right now it sounds like you have to play a possession on the condition you removed the token from. otherwise good.

seems good, but you might want to change it to make a minion strength +. that way it’s a little more balanced, and there is less chance of overwhelming a companion. strength -9 is powerful. |

While this minion bears a possession, it is strength +2 (or strength +3 if that possession is Goblin Drumstick).

Nice.

Bearer must be an  Orc. Limit one per bearer.
When you play this possession, you may reinforce an  token.

Cool.
(although why can’t a drummer use 2 drumsticks? )

Seems a bit powerful, especially with reinforcing. I’d make it work at the start of the maneuver phase, so that it could only work once per site.

Cool, but I would let the possession play on any of your minions (but change it so that it can only play an possession).

Yeah, I’d take mm’s advice and make the Orc strength +1 for each underground.

Everyone expect as soon as I can muster them! You’ve all been a big help in the completion of the culture.
Speaking of which, it is now time to recap the culture that the public voted to be the first spoiled for Ambush at Amon Hen. The first half of the focused entirely on a new strategy not present in the culture before; archery. The second half gave new light to a prevalent possessions strategies. Both of these feature sub-strategies of being underground and a few even went to focus on tokens. Here is the culture in its entirety:
•Archer Commander, Relentless Bowman
Minion • Orc
Strength: 9
Vitality: 2
Site: 4
Archer. To play, spot an archer.
Each archer gains hunter 1 (or hunter 2 if the fellowship is at an underground site).
Even as the fellowship continued to slip past their arrows, the goblin archers never faltered.

Thanks for the support!
Today we move from the the foul culture to the fun-lowing Hobbits of the . Once again I have decided to add my own strategy to a culture; however, unlike the previous addition, this one comes with a new unloaded keyword!
Hobbits have their pipeweed yet they lack their beloved liquor! Ambush at Amon Hen introduces the new unloaded keyword ale, which works in the same ways as pipeweed. Almost all of the cards in this set deal with this new keyword, benefiting those woolly-footed rascals with high resistance of the powers of The One Ring! In compliment to ale possessions (much as pipes are for pipeweed) come the cups in all forms and from all areas of Middle-earth. Hobbits aren’t the only culture that deals with ale in this set, but they certainly are the most beneficiary from it.
----
•Pippin, Troublesome Hobbit
Companion • Hobbit
Strength: 3
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 8
At the start of each fellowship phase, you may exert Pippin and add a burden to play a pipeweed or ale from your draw deck.
"’I’m getting one!’"
----
Beer-barrel
Possession • Support Area
Ale. To play, spot a Hobbit.
When you play this possession, you may heal a Hobbit with resistance 8 or more.
"He had been saying farewell to the beer-barrel in the cellar."
----
Green Dragon Mug
Possession • Cup
Resistance: +1
Bearer must be a Hobbit.
While the fellowship is at a dwelling site, bearer is strength +1 (or strength +2 if bearer has resistance 8 or higher). |
