= General Strategy =

A staple in the "Hobbit Hospital" deck list, the non-unique Hobbit Party Guest is a self-healing hobbit ally that can exert to heal most other Hobbit allies. With the exception of Bilbo, Retired Adventurer (site 3) and Bounder (site 2), Hobbit Party Guest can exert to heal any Hobbit ally, allowing the user to access powerful ally functions in a Hobbit-centric deck design.

= Strengths and Weaknesses =

=== Strong Versus... ===

* Self-healing ally with an exerting function can keep other allies in fresh shape for healing (Farmer Maggot, Chaser of Rascals, Rosie Cotton, Hobbiton Lass, The Gaffer, Sam's Father) or condition discarding (Bilbo, Well-Spoken Gentlehobbit)
* Non-unique ally to be spotted by Chance Observation or sacrificed in a skirmish with Horn of Boromir or One Whom Men Would Follow

=== Weak Versus... ===

* Tower Assassin, and other ally-targeting cards
