| What is there, like 3 cards that really key off that keyword? I also do NOT see any synchronism between any of the fellowship companions, none that say: "If you can spot another Fellowship companion, blah blah blah" is just retarded and lame. I expected more out of Decipher than this, I mean this is THE END of LotR: TCG, the last set to ever be printed! Throw it into the fire, Frodo! Caste it into the chasm, Isildur! What ends up happening? What could have been the best synchronism between the 9 walkers ever, turns out to be nothing more than an unloaded keyword with only 3 cards that supports it. It leaves a taste of bitterness in my mouth to see what this great game’s last set produces. |

this keyword is useless... the only REAL use is the shire transfer condition as can be pretty handy.
The companions should have been more connected to each other getting bonuses out of extra fellowship companions you can spot or something like it. specially Frodo, he could have a bonus like: if you can spot 3 other fellowship companions Frodo is strength +2 or something else. |

The fellowship keyword and the fellowship itself are both awful. Who designed this set? Age’s End is definitely the worst-put-together LOTR set that I’ve seen. It seems to have been made in like 2 hours so that Decipher can squeeze a bit more cash from people before they lose the license.

There just needed to be a few more cards that let these guys work together more effectively. Making them all fellowship should have been a way for them to be grouped together using similar cards and abilities regardless of their culture.
It needed to be able to make rainbow fellowships more viable. |

Wholeheartedly agreed. I know doing that in one 40-card set is not incredibly easy, but they didn’t even seem to TRY. Just putting some text referring to "fellowship" on the actual FELLOWSHIP would have been a start, but not ONE of them does so. Ugh.
As I said elsewhere, if this is the best that they can do, I’m actually GLAD they’re calling it quits. Awful, just awful. |

| Which cards even USE the fellowship keyword? You said there’s 3 cards? I don’t even see one yet. O_o |

In the spoiler image, the only cards I see that refer to the fellowship keyword are the  event That’s Two!, the  condition Strength In My Blood, and the  condition Rabbit Stew. |

I’m actually going to agree with the first part of that. But I think it was made in two hours because D had a ravenous horde of spoiler-seeking players at its gates, and THEY WANTED BLOOD.
No, seriously. One of the things that ticks me off is how everyone was screaming for so many spoilers. Why do you think RoS was so error-ridden? Why was T&D a less-than-awesome set? Did you really expect anything when you were shouting for spoilers? Ask, and ye shall receive. |
