Ok, I haven't ever played LOTR CCG with more than one other person at a time, so just a basic question to start it off for now. How does the twilight thing get worked out with multiple opponents (if that's how it works)? Does everyone split the twilight evenly or does the first shadow player play as much as possible?
Multiplayer LoTR is very interesting! Just don't try flooding the twilight pool.
Play in the Shadow phase proceeds to the Free People's player's right. Each Shadow player takes their Shadow phase in turn, and you cannot go back once you have passed to the next player. It used to be that you were not allowed to kibitz about specific strategies, but now you can plan and scheme however you want as long as you don't show the other Shadow players any cards in your hand. Though, it's usually a bad idea to be too specific... the FP player may get a clue of what is coming. Shadow players can work together or not... sometimes if your hand is clogged with Shadow cards and you are the first player to the right, it's most expedient to dump all of your minions and not let others play.
You cannot play Possessions/Conditions on other Shadow players' minions, but you can use skirmish events, special abilities, etc. The FP player chooses
a Shadow player to assign archery wounds. All Shadow conditions are in play simultaneously. A couple other misc. rules that I can't remember perhaps. Have fun!
