Play Tips:
Pelargir, Dol Amroth, Edoras for Rings. Minas Tirith for Palantir. Any three of the above for Smoke. Tolfalas for Scroll. Amon Hen for Secrets. Either of the above for Regiment. Get one Lt under the other with the help of the rings. That allows the third Lt and friends to come out to play. Dwar either helps to fight or sideboards or Voices. This plays best vs. heroes because of the centrality of Above the Abyss.
