As far as I know, when you reveal a card it is shown to all players, but when you look at a card, only you see it.
Nice to have you back, SoP!
As I want to finish this set before I go away, let’s have a bunch of other riddly cards:
Teeth and Horses
Event • Maneuver
Riddle.
Exert Bilbo (or 2 Hobbits) to choose an opponent and name a number. They must reveal their hand. If that number matches the number of Shadow cards revealed, you may heal 2 Dwarves (or a Hobbit twice).
’First they champ / Then they stamp, / Then they stand still.’
H1 C 270
Daisies and Sunshine
Event • Maneuver
Riddle.
Exert Bilbo (or 2 Hobbits) to choose an opponent and name a number. They must reveal their hand. If that number matches the number of Free Peoples cards revealed, you may make a Hobbit strength +3 until the regroup phase.
’An eye in a blue face / Saw an eye in a green face...’
H1 U 254
Fish, Men and Cats
Event • Maneuver
Riddle.
Spot Bilbo (or 2 Hobbits) to choose an opponent and name a number. They must reveal their hand. If that number matches the number of events revealed, that Shadow player must discard all Shadow events from their hand. If it does not, that opponent may take one Shadow event into hand from their discard pile.
’Four legs got some.’
H1 U 256
Pale Light
Event • Maneuver
Spot Bilbo (or 2 Hobbits) with resistance 5 or more to reveal a Shadow player’s hand. You may take the next maneuver action.

Hmm again cool but needs to be better than just +2 to a hobbit.

Same note on wording here. I also agree with lem0n: strength +2 isn’t worth it for all that. Raise the boost, or lower the costs.

You better be able to see their hand ahead of time, or this is too risky.

Raised the bonus on Daisies and Sunshine to +3. Thanks for your reviews.
The thing with Fish, Men and Cats is that, if you have 2 in your hand and you get the first one wrong, it doesn’t make a difference because the second one will discard all their Shadow events anyway, which is why I’m wary of making it more powerful. Also, with some events following, it will be easier to get them out when you need them:
Wonderful Plan
Event • Maneuver
Spot Bilbo (or 2 Hobbits) to take into hand a event from your discard pile.
Things were looking pretty bad again, when suddenly Bilbo reappeared, and charged into the astonished spiders unexpectedly from the side.
H1 U 277
Left Behind
Event • Fellowship
Spot a companion to take a riddle into hand from your draw deck (or from a condition).
When Bilbo opened his eyes, he wondered if he had; for it was just as dark as with them shut.
H1 C 262
Guessed, Not Given
Event • Response
If a riddle is about to be resolved, spot Bilbo to add or subtract 1 from a number named for that riddle.. This can change the effects of that riddle.
After all, he had won the game, pretty fairly, at a horrible risk.
H1 C 258
Both Wrong
Event • Response
If a riddle is played, spot Bilbo to choose one: shuffle your draw deck; count the number of cards in your hand, place your hand beneath your draw deck and draw the same number of cards; or play a maneuver event from hand (suspending the current riddle until the event is resolved). This can change the effects of that riddle.
’String, or nothing!’ shrieked Gollum, which was not quite fair - working in two guesses at once.

Fair enough, I suppose. Daisies and Sunshine was the one I was more concerned about, anyway.

Very, very powerful, especially since it really has no cost. I’d either raise the cost to or drop the next maneuver action part. If you do the latter, you may even be able to change it to any old event and not limit it to maneuver.

I don’t like spotting Gollum...too specific. MAYBE okay if you allow spotting Gollum or Smeagol. But did you mean Bilbo? I suspect you did.

I was going to suggest changing it from a maneuver event to a riddle, but I guess it’s okay as is. Hardly any maneuver events out there anyway (only four that I can find), and what little there is is appropriate, actually. |

Yeah, sorry it was supposed to be Bilbo! Gollum has an event with an identical text so I just copied and pasted it and forgot to change the names to protect the innocent!

I figured that’s what happened. Done that myself a few times. |

And now for the final post of this set:
What Have I Got in my Pockets?
Event • Maneuver
Riddle.
To play, exert Bilbo and add a threat.
Choose an opponent who must name a number. Then reveal your hand. If that number matches the number of possessions revealed, discard 2 Free Peoples cards from play. If it does not, you may discard up to 2 minions from play.
But Bilbo could not think of any question with that nasty wet cold thing sitting next to him...
H1 R 275
Clever At Quietness
Condition • Support Area
Skirmish: Transfer this condition to a minions skirmishing a Hobbit.
Bearer is Locked.
Regroup: If this card is borne by a minion, you may exert a Hobbit to transfer it to another card.
The dwarves could not, of course compare with the hobbit in real stealth, and they made a deal of puffing and shuffling...
H1 C 253
Pity
Condition
Res: +2
Bearer must be a Hobbit.
Limit 1 per bearer.
Each minion skirmishing this companion is strength +1.
A sudden understanding... welled up in Bilbo’s heart: a glimpse of endless unmarked days without light or hope of betterment...
H1 R 267
And of course, an obvious and unavoidable reprint (with snazzy new lore):
Hobbit Sword
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +2
Bearer must be a Hobbit.
... something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to... carry a sword instead of a walking stick.
H1 C 259
Thanks all you guys that have been reviewing my cards, and I’ll be back here at some point, becoming "full time" again at the beginning of September.
