 Beorn’s Home 
Site 6 [LA]
Dwelling. Sanctuary. When the fellowship moves here, heal each  companion.
Remember, there’s a LOT of companions in this set, from the Wood-elves to the Eagles to Beorn and even Radagast. So this could cover almost the entire fellowship rather easily and allow an easy double-move. 
Nice, reminds me of the ROTK site 6’s.
Beorn’s Gardens
Site 6 [LA]
[b]Forest. Sanctuary. The twilight cost of each mount (except  and  mounts) is -1.
Just like in The Hobbit, Beorn can rustle up some ponies for your fellowship.
I think you could make it -2 without much worry. Otherwise, it’s rather specific for not much benefit.
Old Ford
Site 6 [LA]
River. Sanctuary. Skip the archery phase.
Nice. Good thing this isn’t a shadows site...
The Carrock
Site 6 [LA]
River. Sanctuary. While the fellowship is at The Carrock, no more than one minion may be assigned to each skirmish.
Where have I seen that text before?! PLAGARISM!
Forest Gate
Site 6 [LA]
Forest. Sanctuary. Orcs are not roaming.
Most of them are Site 7, so this could be trouble.
Fun fun fun!
Great Shelf
Site 6 [LA]
Mountain. Sanctuary. When the fellowship moves here, spot an Eagle to remove a threat (or spot 3 Eagles to remove 2 threats).
Cool. Now I know where the Great Shelf went!
Rhosgobel
Site 6 [LA]
Dwelling. Sanctuary. Fellowship: Play Radagast from your hand or discard pile; his twilight cost is -3.
Obviously, it’s a lot easier to get Radagast to join the party when you catch him at his own home.
Why discard pile? Like it, but it’s a bit late to be getting companions. Could he be free (as in -4)?
Next time: Mirkwood! 
I look forward to it.

What if I changed Rhosgobel to be -2 for any  or Wizard (or -3 for Radagast)? Would that be better? |

Great. Then here’s the next bunch!
With a whopping nine options, Site 7 is the most varied site along the entire Lasting Alliances sitepath, and can really affect the outcome of the game. There are some sites that help out the fellowship, and some that can utterly destroy it. If you’re to ensure you control the sitepath, this is where you should really start, or else your entire game might be over.
Enchanted Stream 
Site 7 [LA]
Forest. River. Regroup: Spot your minion and remove a threat to make the move limit for this turn -1 (to a minimum of 1).
Old Road of the Forest
Site 7 [LA]
Forest. At the start of the maneuver phase, the Free Peoples player may exert 2 companions (or an Elf or Dwarf) and add to make the move limit for this turn +1.
Mountains of Mirkwood 
Site 7 [LA]
Forest. Mountain. The twilight cost of the first minion played each Shadow phase is -2.
Fortress of Amon Lanc
Site 7 [LA]
Mountain. The twilight cost of each condition is -1.
Pits of Dol Guldur
Site 7 [LA]
Mountain. Underground. Each time a Free Peoples character is captured or rescued, the first Shadow player may add  or a threat.
Barrel-room
Site 7 [LA]
Dwelling. Underground. River. When the fellowship moves from this site, the Free Peoples player must exert each non-unique companion or add  for each unique companion.
Hall of the Elvenking
Site 7 [LA]
Dwelling. Underground. When the fellowship moves to Hall of the Elvenking without a Elf, each unbound companion must exert.
Elven Dungeon
Site 7 [LA]
Underground. At the start of the regroup phase, each player may add or remove for each character they have captured.
Spider Colony
Site 7 [LA]
Forest. Battleground. Spiders gain hunter 2 (or hunter 1 and fierce while the Ring-bearer wears The One Ring). |

Nasty. Make it regroup, that way the minion has to survive to pull it off.
Old Forest Road
Site 7 [LA]
Forest. At the start of the maneuver phase, the Free Peoples player may exert 2 companions (or an Elf or Dwarf) and add to make the move limit for this turn +1.
Already a site! New title needed. Very nice, but get rid of the parentheses, it’s a level of complexity this card doesn’t need.
Mountains of Mirkwood
Site 7 [LA]
Forest. Mountain. The twilight cost of the first minion played each Shadow phase is -2.
Good.
Fortress of Amon Lanc
Site 7 [LA]
Mountain. The twilight cost of each condition is -1.
Fine.
Pits of Dol Guldur
Site 7 [LA]
Mountain. Underground. Each time a Free Peoples character is captured or rescued, the first Shadow player may add or a threat.
Nice.
Barrel-room
Site 7 [LA]
Dwelling. Underground. River. When the fellowship moves from this site, the Free Peoples player must exert each non-unique companion or add for each unique companion.
Interesting, but a bit too complicated. I’d prefer something simpler.
Hall of the Elvenking
Site 7 [LA]
Dwelling. Underground. When the fellowship moves to Hall of the Elvenking without a Elf, each unbound companion must exert.
What a classic!
Elven Dungeon
Site 7 [LA]
Underground. At the start of the regroup phase, each player may add or remove for each character they have captured.
Cool.
Spider Colony
Site 7 [LA]
Forest. Battleground. Spiders gain hunter 2 (and fierce while the Ring-bearer wears The One Ring).
Nice, but I’d make it hunter 2 or fierce, not both (not that I know about any of your spiders to make a good judgment!).

Wow. Neato. Nice way to run for the win, with proper path control.

Site 7 [LA]
Forest. Mountain. The twilight cost of the first minion played each Shadow phase is -2.
Cool.
Fortress of Amon Lanc
Site 7 [LA]
Mountain. The twilight cost of each condition is -1.
Sweet.
Pits of Dol Guldur
Site 7 [LA]
Mountain. Underground. Each time a Free Peoples character is captured or rescued, the first Shadow player may add or a threat.
Whoa. Mean.
Barrel-room
Site 7 [LA]
Dwelling. Underground. River. When the fellowship moves from this site, the Free Peoples player must exert each non-unique companion or add for each unique companion.
They’ll often make the choice that hurts the least, but hopefully either one packs a punch!
Hall of the Elvenking
Site 7 [LA]
Dwelling. Underground. When the fellowship moves to Hall of the Elvenking without a Elf, each unbound companion must exert.
Ah! This reminds me of other utterly evil site 7’s. Fun stuff.
Elven Dungeon
Site 7 [LA]
Underground. At the start of the regroup phase, each player may add or remove for each character they have captured.
Sweet.
Spider Colony

Well I was hoping for another review or two, since Site 7 has so many options, but reviews seem a little slower the last couple days. So, impatient guy that I am, I’m moving on!
Site 8 is chiefly (though not entirely, as you’ll see) focused around Lake-town, and with Master of Laketown, Leader of Esgaroth, any of these can become a sanctuary, just like in The Hobbit. However, ALSO like the book, the longer the fellowship lingers, the more risk you take on, because by then, chances are that lingering only makes things easier for your opponents to plan how to crush you at the next site, or rush ahead and beat you to the finish line.
Anyway, the actual sites don’t usually help as much as you might expect. This IS, after all, a town that Smaug swoops in and utterly destroys by the end of the novel. It’s not as peaceful as you might expect.
Forest River 
Site 8 [LA]
Forest. River. Each character is strength +1.
Long Marshes
Site 8 [LA]
Marsh. When the fellowship moves here, spot your minion or two threats to exert each unwounded companion.
River Running
Site 8 [LA]
River. Archery: Make your archery total -1 (to a minimum of 0) to draw a card.
Long Lake
Site 8 [LA]
River. Shadow: Play a  or  minion to draw a card.
Esgaroth Bridge Gate
Site 8 [LA]
River. When the fellowship moves here, add for each non- companion.
Esgaroth Market-Place 
Site 8 [LA]
Dwelling. Fellowship: Spot 3 Men to play a Man ally from your draw deck; the twilight cost of that ally is -2. Limit once per phase.
This one is probably the easiest way to bring out Master of Laketown, Leader of Esgaroth...or any other ally you want, of course.
Esgaroth Great Hall
Site 8 [LA]
Dwelling. When the fellowship moves here, if you cannot spot 3 Man allies (or Master of Laketown), add 3 threats. Otherwise add a burden or a threat.
Lake-town
Site 8 [LA]
River. Dwelling. Minions at Lake-town are not roaming.
Remember, Smaug is a site 9 minion. |
