Most cards in The Lord of the Rings TCG are

one of two basic kinds: Free Peoples or Shadow.

There are also sites and The One Ring, which are

neither Free Peoples cards nor Shadow cards.

C OMPREHENSIVE R ULES 4.0

If you have never played a trading

card game...

The best way to learn is from a friend who

already knows how to play. If your friends aren’t

players yet, we suggest you begin with a Starter

Rulebook , which is included in starter decks and

available for download.

If you have played this game before...

These Comprehensive Rules provides complete

documentation of all rules for The Lord of the

Rings TCG as of October 2004. It replaces and

supersedes all previous rulebooks. It is divided

into three sections.

Section One is a chronological overview of

gameplay. Section Two provides complete rules

to the game, organized alphabetically by topic.

Section Three provides entries on individual

cards, including errata and clarifications.

W HAT ’ S N EW ?

All material from the Shadows Starter Rulebook

is included here. The most important updates

are:

• Changes in the Open format to the way sites are

played on the adventure path, and the addition

of regions. (See Section One: “Moving your

fellowship,” “Playing sites,” “Adding twilight

tokens for movement,” and “Building Your

Deck”; or Section Two: “building your deck,”

“moving your fellowship,” “region,” and “site.”)

• The increased role of resistance in the game,

and the effect that has on burdens. (See

“resistance” in Section One or Two.)

• The addition of the keywords “lurker,”

“muster,” and “toil.” (See the Section Two

entries for those terms.)

Note that none of these new rules take effect

until the release of Shadows . Until then, Open

format games continue to use King block sites,

and players still play them to the adventure path

and add pool as before – that is, as defined for

the Fellowship block, Tower block, and King

block formats. (See Section One: “Formats” or

Section Two: “format.”)

Free Peoples cards

Free Peoples cards represent the forces

of good. Each player has his own

fellowship, made up of a Ring-bearer and other

companions. When you take your turn, you play

and use your Free Peoples cards.

Free Peoples cards have a light colored

circular field in the upper left corner.

Site cards represent locations in Middle-earth,

and are used to chart the progress of the game.

Nine sites are placed in your adventure deck, and

are kept separately from the other cards you draw

and play during the game, which are placed in

the draw deck.

Shadow cards

Shadow cards represent the forces of

evil and corruption. When another

player takes his turn, you play and use your

Shadow cards to hinder that player.

Shadow cards have a dark colored diamond-

shaped field in the upper left corner.

C ARD T YPES

There are nine different card types in the game:

The One Ring, site, companion, ally, minion,

possession, artifact, event, and condition.

Companion, ally, and minion cards are also

collectively referred to as character cards.

T HE O NE R ING

Site cards have a dark compass in

the upper left corner.

This symbol is used on sites from the

Shadows expansion set onward, differentiating

them from sites found in previous sets (which use

a different compass symbol, and may also use a

block symbol).

C OMPANION

A companion is a Free Peoples character in your

fellowship.

A LLY

This card type represents the uniquely powerful

item that is the focus of the story of The Lord of

the Rings . In the middle of the card, The One

Ring has its subtitle. It has no twilight cost.

There are several versions of The One Ring,

represented by different cards, but you’ll only use

one version at a time.

S ECTION O NE : O VERVIEW

This section of the Comprehensive Rules

mirrors the presentation of a Starter Rulebook.

Important concepts are explained first, followed

by game setup and an explanation of the turn

sequence in order.

This section is offered only as a chronological

overview of gameplay. There are few examples of

play, and few specific rulings. For such material,

refer to Section Two.

Again, if you are not familiar with the game,

we strongly suggest you begin with a Starter

Rulebook, rather than the Comprehensive Rules.

An ally is a character that helps your companions

from afar but does not move with them.

Comprehensive Rules 4.0

M INION

E VENT

Wounds

When a character is wounded by an enemy

attack, his vitality is depleted. Place a wound

token on the character to illustrate this. Glass

beads (preferably blood red) make good tokens

for this purpose.

When you “wound a character,” you place only

one wound.

Each wound a character has reduces its vitality by

1. When a character’s vitality is reduced to zero,

that character is immediately killed. (Reducing

a character’s strength to zero does not kill that

character.)

Healing

When a wound is removed from a character, this

represents resting or healing. When you “heal a

character,” you remove one wound.

Generally, your fellowship only heals at a

sanctuary – that is, a site 3 or site 6 – you reach

on the adventure path. At the start of your turn

when your fellowship is at a sanctuary, you may

heal up to 5 wounds from your companions (not

allies).

Killed

When a character’s vitality is reduced to zero,

that character is immediately killed. Place killed

Free Peoples characters (companions and allies)

in your dead pile. The dead pile is separate

from and next to your discard pile. Place killed

minions in your discard pile.

When you have a unique companion or ally in

your dead pile, you cannot play another copy of

that card, or any other card with the same title.

(You may play another copy of a non-unique

card that is in your dead pile.)

Exert

Sometimes you may exert a character by placing

a wound on that card to show that the character

takes an action that depletes his vitality.

Exerting a character is different from wounding

a character, even though both require placement

of a wound token. Cards that prevent wounds

cannot prevent a wound token placed by

exerting.

Once a wound token is placed, whether from

exerting or wounding, it can be healed by any

effect that heals a wound.

No player may exert a character who is exhausted

(who has only 1 vitality). If the effect of an

action says a character “must exert” and that

character is exhausted, then nothing happens. To

exhaust a character means to exert that character

as many times as you can.

R ESISTANCE

A minion is a Shadow character that attacks

other players’ fellowships.

P OSSESSION

An event is a card played from your hand

representing an important occurrence, which you

discard after you play it.

C ONDITION

A possession is a weapon, suit of armor, or other

kind of object used by a character.

Most possessions tell you who their bearer can

be, which is the kind of character you can play

them on.

A RTIFACT

A condition is a card representing a significant

change in the world, which stays in play until

discarded. Most conditions play to your support

area, though some play on other cards, and tell

you who or what their bearer can be.

C ULTURE

Most cards are part of a specific culture. A card’s

color, its background texture, and an icon in its

upper right corner indicate its culture. Your deck

may contain cards from several different cultures.

Site cards and The One Ring are not part of any

culture.

Culture names and symbols

∆ Moria

An artifact is a unique weapon, suit of armor, or

other kind of special object used by a character.

Though artifacts are played and used much

like possessions, they are a different card type.

Artifacts are not affected by cards that affect

possessions.

This number represents a companion’s

Comprehensive Rules 4.0

have their resistance printed on the card. These

companions have a resistance of 6.

Allies have a resistance of zero.

Burdens

When your Ring-bearer loses will against the

power of The One Ring, you place a burden

token on him. Glass beads (preferably black)

make good burden tokens, but anything you

won’t confuse with a wound will do.

There are many cards that add or remove

burdens. Burdens are only placed on your

Ring-bearer. Each burden on your Ring-bearer

reduces the resistance of every companion in your

fellowship by 1.

If your Ring-bearer’s resistance is reduced to

zero, he is corrupted, and you lose the game.

Only your Ring-bearer can be corrupted. If the

resistance of any of your other companions is

reduced to zero, there is no immediate penalty,

though your opponent may play Shadow cards to

take advantage of this.

S IGNET

words are printed in boldface and followed by a

colon.

Each phase action lasts for the duration of

the phase named in the boldface word (unless

otherwise specified).

The effects of a phase action with the keyword

Skirmish: last only for the skirmish phase in which

it is used.

Each phase action must be completely performed

before another phase action can be performed.

Phase actions cannot be combined.

An action labeled with the word “ Response: ” is

not a phase action. Responses are explained later

in this rulebook.

E VENTS

Most event cards have a phase action that defines

when you may play that card from your hand.

The game text on that event may be performed

only once for each copy of that event played. You

cannot play an event during a phase that does

not match its phase action.

Discard an event after you play it, and before the

next action is taken. Even after being discarded,

an event often has an ongoing or delayed effect

until the end of the phase, or until a specified

phase or condition is met.

S PECIAL A BILITIES

Besides events, other types of cards may have a

phase action as a part of their game text called

a special ability, which may be used only while

the card is in play. (The boldfaced word defines

when you may do so.)

Each special ability is optional; you don’t have

to use it if you don’t want to. You may use each

special ability as many times as you like (even

repeatedly during the same phase), as long as you

meet the requirements for it and pay its costs.

W HEN , E ACH T IME , AND W HILE

A few special words or phrases you’ll see in game

text govern the timing of an action, just like the

names of phases that are in phase actions. These

include when, each time, and while; each is

described below with an example.

• When is used if an effect can happen only once.

When you play this possession, you may draw a

card. This game text activates only once, when

this card is played.

• Each time is used if an effect can happen more

than once. Each time you play a possession or

artifact on your companion, draw a card. If you

play one possession, this game text activates

once; if you play a second possession, it activates

again, and so on.

• While is used if an effect is continuous. While

Merry bears a weapon, he is strength +2. When

you play a weapon on Merry, this game text is

activated; if that weapon is discarded, then this

game text “turns off.”

Each of these effects has a trigger describing what

makes it happen. The trigger is always described

first, and followed by a comma.

S ETTING U P THE G AME

Players need a supply of wound tokens

(preferably red) and twilight tokens (preferably

black). Each player will also need a player marker

(a differently-colored token) that shows where

his fellowship is on the adventure path.

Who goes first?

In the Starter Rules, players decide randomly

who goes first. Normally, however, players bid

burdens to determine this.

Players place secret bids for the right to

determine who goes first in the game. The

bidding is done with black tokens, which will

become burdens on your Ring-bearer.

Each player secretly places a number of burdens

in his hand (you may bid zero). When all players

are ready, simultaneously reveal the bids. The

highest bid wins the right to choose where he

goes in the turn order. Any choice is available.

Next, the second highest bidder chooses from the

remaining positions in the turn order, and so on.

Keep track of each player’s bid, as these tokens

will become burdens on his Ring-bearer.

If there are any ties, then the tied players resolve

randomly who chooses first among them.

Tom, Chuck, Tim, and Mike are playing, and the

initial bids are Tom 3, Chuck 4, Tim 3, and Mike

1. Chuck wins the right to choose, and he chooses

to go first (placing 4 burdens on his Ring-bearer).

Tom and Tim are tied, so they flip a coin, and

Tom wins the tiebreak. He chooses second (placing

3 burdens on his Ring-bearer). Tim chooses to

go fourth (3 burdens), leaving third for Mike (1

burden).

The first player sits down, and the others then sit

in clockwise order around the table according to

their choices.

Adventure Deck

Take all 9 of your site cards and place them

face down in a pile on the table. This is your

adventure deck.

No other player may look through your

adventure deck during the game.

You don’t have to keep your adventure deck in

any order. Just look through it to get a card when

you need to.

The first player chooses any site from his

adventure deck and places it on the table to begin

the adventure path. This becomes site 1. Each

player places his player marker onto that site.

All players use the same adventure path for their

player markers. The cards that make up that

path are taken from the adventure decks of the

players.

Place the adventure path off to the side, opposite

from the twilight pool. That leaves room in the

middle of the table for minions.

Starting Fellowship

In the Starter Rules, players select their starting

fellowships based upon which deck they have.

Normally, however, players customize their

starting fellowships.

Some Free Peoples character cards

have a signet, found in the lower left

corner of the card. Cards with the

same signet generally give bonuses to each other

and work well in the same deck.

Each signet is based around an important

character in the story. The available signets are

Aragorn, Frodo, Gandalf, and Théoden.

T WILIGHT P OOL

The twilight pool is an area on the table where

twilight tokens are placed. The tokens in the

twilight pool represent how dangerous the world

is for the fellowship. Glass beads (preferably

black) make good twilight tokens, but any

convenient tokens will do. Keep a large reserve of

twilight tokens handy.

Twilight Cost

In the upper left corner of each Free Peoples and

Shadow card is that card’s twilight cost. This

is the number of twilight tokens that must be

added to or removed from the twilight pool to

play that card.

When you play a Free Peoples card, you must

add a number of twilight tokens (from the

reserve) to the twilight pool equal to that card’s

twilight cost.

When your opponent plays a Shadow card,

he must remove a number of twilight tokens

from the twilight pool equal to that card’s

twilight cost. A Shadow card cannot be played

if its twilight cost cannot be met by the tokens

available in the twilight pool.

In game text, you will find phrases like “Add ⁄”

which means, “Add 1 twilight token to the

twilight pool.”

You must meet any requirements to play a card

(or perform an action) before paying its costs.

P HASE A CTIONS

During each phase of a turn, one or more players

are allowed to perform phase actions that use a

word matching the name of that phase. These

Page 3

T HE L ORD OF THE R INGS ™ Trading Card Game

Comprehensive Rules 4.0

Your fellowship begins with a character bearing

The One Ring. This can be any character with

the ringed resistance icon, or any version of

Frodo. That character gains the keywords Ring-

bearer and Ring-bound, if he does not already

have them.

Place your Ring-bearer face up on the table.

Place The One Ring under your Ring-bearer

(so the title is showing) and place on him the

burdens that you bid.

You may then play other companions (not allies,

possessions, artifacts, or conditions) one at a time

from your draw deck, as long as the total twilight

cost of these companions is 4 or less. The

twilight cost of your Ring-bearer is not included

in this total.

Don’t place any tokens into the twilight pool for

the cards in your starting fellowship. Site text

is not active when the starting fellowships are

played.

Select and reveal starting fellowships in player

order. (In tournament play, you may change

your starting fellowship from game to game.)

Draw deck

The rest of your cards form your draw deck.

Shuffle your draw deck, give the opponent on

your right the opportunity to cut it, and draw

eight cards to form your starting hand.

When you draw the last card from your draw

deck, you don’t lose the game. Continue with

the cards you have in hand and in play.

In the Starter Rules, if you have no cards in your

draw deck, you are allowed to reshuffle your

discard pile to make a new one once per game.

Normally, however, you are not allowed to do

this.

Game Setup Summary

• Bid to determine who goes first.

• Each player places his adventure deck on the

table.

• First player plays a site from his adventure deck.

• Each player puts his player marker on that site.

• Each player places his starting fellowship on

the table, placing the burdens he bid on his

Ring-bearer.

• Each player shuffles his draw deck and draws 8

cards.

P LAYING THE G AME

Each player, going clockwise around the table,

takes turns according to the following turn

sequence.

1. Fellowship Phase

2. Shadow Phase(s)

3. Maneuver Phase

4. Archery Phase

5. Assignment Phase

6. Skirmish Phase(s)

7. Regroup Phase

When one player finishes his turn, the next

player in clockwise rotation (to his left) takes a

turn and so on.

Although the turn order rotates to the left

(clockwise), note that many other procedures in

the game actually rotate to the right (counter-

clockwise).

S TART OF T URN

When your turn begins, remove all tokens from

the twilight pool. (The pool begins the game

empty, so this is not necessary on the first turn of

the game.)

Then you complete any “at the start of each

turn” (or “at the start of each of your turns”)

actions. Each of these actions may be performed

only once per turn.

1. F ELLOWSHIP P HASE

During your fellowship phase, you may perform

fellowship actions, including playing most Free

Peoples cards. Finally, move your fellowship

forward along the adventure path.

Perform fellowship actions

If you are the Free Peoples player, you may

perform fellowship actions during this phase, in

any order.

Two fellowship actions are always available:

• Play a Free Peoples companion, ally, possession,

artifact, or condition from your hand to the

table.

• “Discard to heal.” Spot a unique companion or

unique ally with at least one wound and discard

a card from your hand with the same card title

(it may have a different subtitle) to heal that

character.

You may find other fellowship actions on events

in your hand, or as special abilities on cards you

already have in play.

Some card effects allow you to draw cards in the

fellowship phase. You cannot draw (or take into

hand) more than 4 cards during your fellowship

phase. This is referred to as The Rule of 4.

Playing companions

Play companion cards in a row, near the other

members of your fellowship already in play.

You cannot have more than nine total

companions in play and in your dead pile at any

time. (Each copy of a companion in play or in

your dead pile counts as a separate companion,

whether it is unique or non-unique.) This is

referred to as The Rule of 9.

Playing allies

Allies are characters that do not count as

members of your fellowship. Play them to

your support area (a row of cards behind your

fellowship). There is no limit to the number of

allies you may have in play.

Ally cards have a home site number indicated

just after the card’s type, on the same line

(such as Ally • Home 3 • Elf). These home site

numbers all refer to adventure paths from the

Fellowship block, Tower block, and King block.

Allies have no home sites on adventure paths

from the Shadows expansion set onward.

Each ally in your support area is considered to be

at his home site.

Playing possessions

Play Free Peoples possessions under a character,

with the left edge of the card visible for its card

title and attribute bonuses (positive modifiers

for the character’s strength, vitality, and/or

resistance, written with a plus sign like “+2”).

Some possessions play to your support area.

Playing artifacts

Play Free Peoples artifacts just as you play Free

Peoples possessions.

Class

Each character may bear one possession or

artifact of each class at one time. For example, a

character may bear only one hand weapon, only

one ranged weapon, only one armor, only one

cloak, and only one staff.

Some possessions and artifacts do not have a

class. There is no limit to the number of cards

without a class that a character may bear.

Playing conditions

Play Free Peoples conditions either under a

character (like a possession, if the card says,

“Bearer must be...”) or to your support area, as

indicated by the condition card.

Free Peoples conditions are always played during

the fellowship phase, even if they provide a

special ability that is performed during a different

phase.

Moving your fellowship

During each of your fellowship phases, when you

are finished performing fellowship actions, your

fellowship must move forward to the next site on

the adventure path.

Place your player marker on the next site on the

adventure path. If there is no site there yet (as

is the case for the first player in the first turn),

then a new site must be played from one of the

Shadow players’ adventure decks, as described

below under “playing sites.”

When you move your player marker to the next

site, first perform any actions triggered by leaving

the old site. Then perform actions that say,

“When the fellowship moves...” Then, perform

actions that occur when moving to the new

site. Finally, add tokens to the twilight pool, as

described below under “adding twilight tokens

for movement.”

Note that when you are playing using the

Fellowship block, Tower block, or King block

formats, the playing of sites and adding of

twilight tokens works differently than what is

explained below. Refer to “Formats,” later in

Section One under “Building Your Deck,” for an

explanation of these differences.

Playing sites

If your fellowship moves to a site that has not

been played yet, one of the Shadow players

must place a new site on the adventure path.

To determine which player, look at the site you

are moving from. Each site has an arrow at the

bottom center of the card. This indicates who

is to play the new site, with

meaning

the Shadow player to your right and

Page 4

T HE L ORD OF THE R INGS ™ Trading Card Game

Comprehensive Rules 4.0

meaning the Shadow player to your left. (In

a two-player game, there is only one Shadow

player at a time, so that player always plays the

new site.)

That player looks through his adventure deck

and chooses any site to play as the next site. It

takes on the next consecutive number on the

adventure path as its site number . It also takes

on a region number : sites 1-3 are in region 1,

sites 4-6 are in region 2, and sites 7-9 are in

region 3.

The first time the first player moves during the

game, a Shadow player looks through his adventure

deck and chooses the next site to place on the

adventure path. It becomes site 2. The next time

a site is added after that, it will be site 3. Both of

those sites are in region 1.

You may play a copy of a site on the adventure

path even if an opponent’s copy was already

played as an earlier site. The copies are treated

as different sites, with each given a different site

number.

Adding twilight tokens for movement

Each time your fellowship moves to a new site,

you must add twilight tokens to the twilight pool

for each of the following:

• Add the number of twilight tokens indicated by

the Shadow number of the site you’re moving

to.

• Add 3 twilight tokens if you are in region 2, or

6 twilight tokens if you are in region 3. (You

may find it easier to remember this: add 3 if

you’ve passed the sanctuary at site 3, or add 6 if

you’ve passed the sanctuary at site 6).

• Add 1 twilight token for each companion in your

fellowship.

You move a fellowship of four companions to a

site 5 that has a Shadow number of 2. You add 2

twilight tokens for the Shadow number, 3 tokens

for the region (region 2), and 4 tokens for your

companions, for a total of 9 twilight tokens added

to the twilight pool.

Movement Summary

• A Shadow player places the next site card, if

needed.

• Move your player marker to the next site.

• Perform “When you move from...” actions.

• Perform “When the fellowship moves...”

actions.

• Perform “When you move to...” actions.

• Add twilight tokens equal to the new site’s

Shadow number.

• Add 3 twilight tokens if the new site is in region

2; or 6 if it is in region 3.

• Add 1 twilight token for each companion.

2. S HADOW P HASE ( S )

Each other player in the game, starting with

the player immediately to your right, has one

Shadow phase.

During each player’s Shadow phase, that player

may perform Shadow actions in any order,

including playing most Shadow cards.

4. A RCHERY P HASE

Perform archery actions

During this phase, players may perform archery

actions (special abilities on cards in play with

“ Archery: ” and events with that keyword)

using the action procedure. When all players

consecutively pass, conduct archery fire.

Archery fire

All Shadow players count the number of all their

minions with the keyword archer to determine

the “minion archery total.” No matter how

many Shadow players there are, there is only one

minion archery total.

As the Free Peoples player, you also count the

number of your Free Peoples archer companions

to determine the “fellowship archery total.”

The Free Peoples player then assigns a number of

wounds equal to the minion archery total to his

companions (and participating allies), in any way

he wishes.

He then chooses one Shadow player who

must assign a number of wounds equal to the

fellowship archery total to his minions, in any

way he wishes.

There is always a “default” archery total of zero

for each side. A card may add to your archery

total even though you have no archers in play at

that time.

When the fellowship is at an ally’s home site

(or a card has allowed them to participate in

archery fire), you may count archer allies for

the fellowship archery total, and assign archery

wounds to them.

When all archery wounds have been assigned,

proceed to the assignment phase. If there are no

minions left after the archery phase, then skip

directly to the regroup phase.

Archery Phase Summary

• Perform archery actions

• Determine archery totals for each side.

• Free Peoples player assigns archery wounds to

his companions (and participating allies).

• Free Peoples player chooses one Shadow player.

• That Shadow player assigns archery wounds to

his minions.

5. A SSIGNMENT P HASE

Perform assignment actions

During the assignment phase, players may

perform assignment actions (special abilities on

cards in play with “ Assignment: ” and events

with that keyword) using the action procedure.

Many assignment actions assign a minion to a

companion. You cannot do this unless both of

them are unassigned.

When all players consecutively pass, proceed to

assign defenders.

Assign defenders

During your assignment phase, you may assign

companions to defend against attacking minions.

A player cannot assign more than one

companion to the same minion.

Perform Shadow actions

One Shadow action is always available:

• Play a Shadow minion, possession, artifact, or

condition from your hand to the table.

A Shadow player may find other Shadow actions

on events in his hand, or as special abilities on

cards he already has in play.

When one Shadow player has completed all of

the Shadow actions he wishes to perform, the

next Shadow player to his right (if any) then

performs a Shadow phase.

All Shadow players pay for cards by using the

same twilight pool. The second Shadow player

uses twilight tokens left over from the first

Shadow player, and so on.

You may use (and exert) another player’s

character to pay a cost for your Shadow card or

special ability.

Playing Shadow cards

A minion is played to the center of the table,

across from the active fellowship. Artifacts,

possessions, and conditions state in their game

text where they play.

Each minion is normally played to a certain

range of sites beginning with the minion’s

site number. If the minion is played to (or is

currently at) a site that has a lower site number,

that minion is roaming. The player must pay a

roaming penalty by removing an additional two

twilight tokens when playing that minion.

A Shadow player cannot play a Shadow artifact,

condition, or possession on another Shadow

player’s minion, or to another player’s support

area. However, Shadow cards may give bonuses

or other game effects to other players’ Shadow

cards, and Shadow players may play events for

other players’ Shadow cards as appropriate.

When all Shadow players have each completed a

Shadow phase, proceed to the maneuver phase.

If there are no minions in play at the end of the

final Shadow phase, then skip directly to the

regroup phase.

3. M ANEUVER P HASE

Perform maneuver actions

During this phase, players may perform

maneuver actions (special abilities on cards in

play with “ Maneuver: ” and events with that

keyword) using the action procedure.

Action Procedure

As the Free Peoples player, you get the first

opportunity to perform an action, and then

the player on your right gets an opportunity,

and so on counter-clockwise around the

table.

If a player does not wish to perform an

action, he may simply pass. Passing does not

prevent a player from performing an action

later in the same phase.

When all players consecutively pass, proceed to

the archery phase. If there are no minions left

after the maneuver phase, then skip directly to

the regroup phase.
