Do these help?

So it will be interesting to see how the multiplayer game compares once we can get going.
But so far I will give the game 👍🏻👍🏻 #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame

Frodo plays the One Ring to win the trick. Playing the 5 of Mountains, the other characters discard to the trick, as they can’t follow suit and Frodo collects the 4 Rings cards that he needs. Last trick of the round Gildor plays a Forest card and the Chapter is complete! #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame

The last line of cards is drawn. Pippin now has 2 of the Rings cards, Frodo needs to hold 4 of them at the end of the round. The remaining cards get played out from the hands on display. The Rings suit has still not been broken and Maggot must lead. Thinking, thinking!! #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame

A fortuitous draw of cards should mean that Maggot will capture his second trick in The Fellowship of the Ring TTG. I need to be careful though as Frodo has not yet taken any of his 4 requires Ring cards #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame
February 16, 2025 at 6:16 PM
Gildor leads with the 4 of Shadows letting Maggot take the first of his required tricks. And I see a way for him to get his second. It will depend on the next line of cards that are drawn! #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame

A new line of cards drawn for the 2nd trick of Chapter 3 of The Fellowship of the Ring TTG. Already I think this is going to be a struggle. Note the 1 of Mountains tucked behind the Chapter card. This is called the “The Lost Card” (so doesn’t play a part in this Chapter) #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame

A closer look at Farmer Maggot and Gildor cards from The Fellowship of the Ring TTG. Maggot’s task is similar to Sams (note he has drawn the Black Rider “4” threat card). Gildor’s task will need careful management to ensure he has a forest card to play in the final trick #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame

Chapter 3 of The Fellowship of the Ring TTG. Farmer Maggot and Gildor Inglorion are on hand to help the Hobbits. The star symbol next to a character’s name mean they must be used in the Chapter leaving 1 slot to be filled, so Pippin it is #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame

Sam has captured his required trick. Merry has 2 so doesn’t need any more. Pippin has taken no tricks (which is good) so Frodo is able to trump the trick with the One Ring (because the One Ring brings them all and in the Darkness, Binds them). Chapter 2 complete. #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame
February 16, 2025 at 4:54 PM
Sam has drawn the Black Rider “2” card meaning he has to capture a trick with the 2 of Hills in it. That 8 of Hills card he has may come in very useful!! #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame
February 16, 2025 at 4:09 PM
Chapter 2 of “The Fellowship of the Ring TTG” introduces Sam and Merry both of whom have new challenges to complete Sam’s task requires a fair degree of thought on how best to achieve it. The 4 Hobbits are together and must now leave Bag End before trouble finds them #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame

Chapter 2 of “The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring Trick-Taking Game” (I think I’m just going to call it “The Fellowship of the Ring TTG”). Bilbo has left the Shire. Gandalf has warned Frodo to leave the Shire but Frodo hesitates and a new menace approaches #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame
February 16, 2025 at 3:55 PM
Bilbo leads with the 3 of Forests allowing Gandalf to take the final trick of the Round. All of the Companions have completed their task and the Chapter is completed!! This is more difficult than i thought !!#TheLordoftheRings #cardgame
February 16, 2025 at 3:34 PM
Pippin is able to discard the 4 of Rings card thus opening the opportunity for Frodo to meet his objective! #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame
February 16, 2025 at 2:02 PM
Setting up for a solo play through of “The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring Trick-Taking Game” (try saying that quickly would be an achievement in itself!) Chapter 1 - A Long-expected Party. Note how Gandalf gets an extra card #TheLordoftheRings #cardgame

As night falls, King Belegar and his bodyguard will make their way back to the Stronghold with tales of brave Dwarven valour and tears for fallen comrades #warhammer #oldschoolwargaming #warhammerrenaissance
