This is a fun little game to see who can come up with the longest chain of LOTR card titles.
A chain of cards means that the first word of each card must match the last word of the previous card.
So here is an example of a chain:
Hardy Garrison of Gondor Bowmen
This chain uses Hardy Garrison, Garrison of Gondor and Gondor Bowmen for a total of 3 cards. If there were a card that started with the word ’Bowmen,’ you could add a 4th card to the chain, and so on.
The best chain I can come up with involves 15 cards, but I won’t share it quite yet. I want to see what you guys can do.
Have at it! |

All right, here is the best chain I can come up with. I challenge you guys to find a longer one!
Seeing Stone of Orthanc Champion Orc Banner of Isengard Sword of the Fallen Lord of Moria Archer Troop of Uruk-hai Band of Wild Men of Harad Standard-bearer
Or, in other words:
Seeing Stone of Orthanc
Orthanc Champion
Champion Orc
Orc Banner
Banner of Isengard
Isengard Sword
Sword of the Fallen
Fallen Lord
Lord of Moria
Moria Archer Troop
Troop of Uruk-hai
Uruk-hai Band
Band of Wild Men
Men of Harad
Harad Standard-bearer |

Add The Palantir of Orthanc, Recovered Seeing Stone to the beginning.  That’s two more card titles if you count just The Palantir of Orthanc as well. |

Well, the idea was that you have to match just the last word, not the last two words, and as I recall, there is no card whose last word in the title is "Seeing" (or "The" for The Palantir of Orthanc).
So all of you who are ending one card with the word "Tree" and starting the next card with "Treebeard" aren’t doing it exactly right. |

True. I think this chain follows the rules though... Top this!

Here’s the more legible list:
The Art of Gandalf
Gandalf, The White Wizard
Wizard Storm
Storm of Argument
Argument Ready to Hand
Hand of Sauron
Sauron, Dark Lord of Mordor
Mordor Enraged
(Enraged)
Enraged Southron
Southron Sentry
Sentry Uruk
Uruk Crossbow Troop
Troop Tower
Tower of Orthanc
Orthanc Champion
Champion Orc
Orc Armor
(Armor)
Armor of the Citadel
Citadel to Gate
Gate Picket
Picket Denizen
Denizen of Moria
Moria Archer Troop
Troop of Uruk-hai
Uruk-hai Sword
Sword of Minas Morgul
Morgul Gates
Gates of the Dead City
City of Men
Men Will Fall
Fall Back
31 cards, not counting the one-word titles. 
The italicized part actually loops back on itself -- start with Troop Tower, go through Moria Archer Troop, then connect that back to Troop Tower. Is that bad form? At any rate it could be an interesting variation on the game... how many LOTR TCG cards can we put into a "circular" chain? |
