I saw the principle designer for Star Wars Minis administering a similar puzzle to the people at those forums and thought it'd be neat to try it here.
In this puzzle, I will post a random character card from LotR TCG, but will break it down to look like this:
1 2 3 4 77 8 3 , .. "" '' • C G MMM O R T WWW aaaaaaaaa ccc d eeeeeeeeee f gg hhhhhhh iiiiiiiiiiiii ll mmm nnnnnnn ooooooo rrrrrrrr ss tttt uu vvv y
That is one card. But I broke down every word, every number, and organized the information like such. Your task is to decode the message, fitting pieces together to reassemble the chosen card. Every aspect of the card (including collector's information and lore) has been included here. Since this is the first round, I'll give you a few hints based on what you can already see. First, there are lots of i's, which *should* tell you something about the card type. Second, there are two periods and no colons, and there are two "s and two 's which should mean something rather specific to you.
As clarification, there are two different instances of a 7 showing up on this card - there's no seventy-seven floating around. Also, a capitalized letter appears as such on the card; likewise for a lowercased letter. Remember that as you start fitting pieces together. When you're decoding the card, use this format:
Cost Title Subtitle Culture
Card Type Card Subtype
Strength
Vitality
Signet/Site Number/Resistance
Game text
Lore
Collector's information
There are no surrounding brackets for cultures or cost so as to keep this simple. No comma between title and any subtitle. No • in-between card type and card subtype.
I don't suggest trying to do this on your own. Post your speculations and bounce ideas off of any others that show up. This is a group effort!
I'll confirm guesses if they are correct. Excluding rules questions or further clarification on how this game works, I will be answering no questions.
