Changes for CRF 7
Rulings by Phase
Organization Phase
Effects that are played during the organiziation phase, and depend on
the site or site path of a moving company, create an effect which is not
declared until the new site is revealed. If the site or site path is not of
the appropriate type when the effect resolves, the resource has no effect.
Movement/Hazard Phase
Movement
If a company moves twice in one turn, resources played during the
organization phase, like Secret Passage, are reapplied to the company at the
begining of each of their movement/hazard phases.
Playing Hazards
@ For the purposes of interpreting hazards, no Darkhaven or Haven has a site
path except for Geann a-Lisch.
Site Phase
Company vs. Company Combat
Hazards have no effect on company vs. company combat.
On-guard Cards
When an on-guard card is revealed, it immediately ceases to be
considered an on-guard card.
Rulings by Term
Ally
Allies can be healed as if they were characters.
Attack
Any effect that would change the number of a strikes for an attack may
not be played after strikes are assigned. This includes cards that have other
additional effects, and cards that only indirectly change the number of
strikes.

of the character making the check.

Character
You can have three of a non-unique character in your deck.
Company
If all characters in a company leave play, the site goes to the location
deck or discard pile, depending on its tapped status. If this happens during
the movement/hazard phase, the site card stays in play until the end of all
moevement/hazard phases. In this case, on-guard cards may still be played on
the site.
The following allies make a company overt: The Balrog, Creature of an
Older World, Great Bats, Great Lord of Goblin-gate, Last Child of Ungoliant,
Regiment of Black Crows, and Two-headed Troll.
Darkhavens
Attacks at Darkhavens are canceled only if the company is at the
Darkhaven.
Gold Rings
Special items, played after a ring test from storing a gold ring item,
come into play stored.
Multiplayer
For Spying out the Land and Here is a Snake, each hazard player shows
hazards immediately before he draws and/or plays hazards, and then can only
play those hazards. Players who are not playing hazards are not required to
show hazards.
Normal
Normal means as written on the card, not considering other card's
effects.
Reveal
Any revealed cards are shown to all players.
Skill Cards
Two or more skill cards may be played by a single character outside of
combat.
Two skill cards may not be declared by one character against a given
strike.

are not three different Ringwraiths.

one of them is duplicated in the deck and sideboard combined, and you have
only Ringwraiths or only Wizards in the deck and sideboard combined.
Great Secrets Buried There
If you give an Under-deeps site to your opponent, it will return to your
location deck we they are done with it, unless you have also used the site, in
which case it returns to your discard pile.
Movement
Wizard companies cannot use starter movement to or from sites in
Gorgoroth. If using region movement to or from sites in Gorgoroth, they must
move from a site in Imlad Morgul, through either Nurn or Udun, or use a
movement enhancer like Ash Mountains or Eagle-mounts. Such sites may be
reached normally with Under-deeps movement.

and/or Minas Morgul. A Ringwraith may also be brought into play at Dol
Guldur, Minas Morgul, or his home site.
