Operation Manual

PLAYING THE CHARACTER CARDS:
The following rules apply for playing the
character cards:
• On your turn, you must play at least
one character card.
• Character cards may only be laid at one
of the eight card spaces next to the
current location card (see illustration).
• All character cards may be laid on
empty card spaces or on card spaces
where a character card has already been laid.
However, the following order must be adhered to:
All character cards can be laid on a Gollum card.
Dwarf cards and dwarf pair cards may be laid on Bilbo cards.
Gandalf cards may be laid on Bilbo cards, dwarf cards and
dwarf pair cards.
Due to the magic ring, the Gollum card may be laid on all
character cards.
Character cards of the same value may not be covered!
For example: A Bilbo card may not be laid on another Bilbo card
and a dwarf pair card may not be laid on either another dwarf
pair card or a dwarf card.
