As a reminder, this is part of the second of 3 sets:
H1 - The Hobbit (300 cards, 110C 100U 90R)
H2 - The Battle of the Five Armies (200 cards, 70C 70U 60R)
H3 - The White Council (200 cards, 70C 70U 60R)
And it’s more or less complete, I just need the approval of the talented DCers of the cobracards forum!
Here is a (very brief) summary of the block mechanics featured in the first set:
Terror X (Each time this character is assigned to skirmish an opponent’s character, they may make that opponent exert X of their characters.)
Winged (This character can only take 1 wound per phase, regardless of its source.)
Locked - (A card that is Locked has blank game text, unless it is Unlocked. An ability or keyword that is Locked is nonexistent unless it is Unlocked.)
Unlocked - (A card can only be Unlocked if a card allows it to be. A card with no Locked text cannot be Unlocked.)
A seriously detailed description of the last two can be found at this link: http://lotrtcgdb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=4434 (below the cards)
There are also a couple more that feature in this set that weren’t in the last, but I’ll get onto them later.
Here’s the culture break down, and clicking on finished cultures will take you to their card lists.
- 32
- 21
- 34
- 10
- 42
- 30
- 17
- 14
All cards from this block are Shadow.
Competition
Event • Maneuver
Exert Gollum to make the Free Peoples player discard an event from their hand. Then you may do the same. Repeat this until one player does not discard an event. If a player does not discard an event, each of their characters are strength -1 until the regroup phase and the other player may take into hand all of their cards discarded in this way and draw a card.

so if they didn’t have events, would they automatically be -1? |

I absolutley love the concept of this card! The card title reflects the gametext to a T. for that. The only problem I can see with it is if you got more than 1 copy of this in your hand, you could potentially make one side have strength -4. I’d almost consider making this a unique condition with an ability that triggers at the start of the maneuver phase. |

Taken on your suggestion, lem0n. Thanks all!
You may remember this Gollum from the first set, and you were probably thinking how out of place his second ability was:
• Gollum, Small and Slimy
Minion
Str: 5
Vit: 4
Sit: 3
Each time a riddle is played, you may make Gollum strength +2 until the regroup phase.
Each time this card is revealed from your hand, you may make a player discard a card from their hand.
He was a Gollum - as dark as darkness, except for two big round pale eyes in his thin face.

Well, it was just foreshadowing what was to come!

Hmm i dont follow this. Presumably you need a second copy of it in your hand? If thats where youre going id say if another card of the same title is revealed etc... And why spot a gollum minion only for it to then work if you can spot gollum himself?

Sound. Wouldnt add a burden. Burdens are more powerful than threats.

I’m not sure I understand your point. You can’t play this event to trigger its exertion (though you can if you still have copies in your hand after you’ve played it), but there are other ways of revealing your hand from the first set (for example, one of the riddles).
lem0nhead wrote: And why spot a gollum minion only for it to then work if you can spot gollum himself?
Good point. Changed.
