It would mean that Bilbo does not need to be in your Company despite the game being The Hobbit TCG. Then again, Sauron wasn't part of the company in The Lord of the Rings TCG, right? =D<br /><br />Maybe we can make Bilbo powerful/enticing enough that he will be crucial to many a company. Or we could make him be an Alternate-Leader.<br /><br />Keep the comments coming!Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905326036943958011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739767.post-28346296846508165062013-01-26T06:06:26.802-08:002013-01-26T06:06:26.802-08:00...unless "doubts" go on another compani......unless "doubts" go on another companion than Bilbo (The "leader"? Thorin or Gandalf?). But in that case, I can't see a single good reason for playing Bilbo in the Company, and that would be strange in a game called The Hobbit TCG.<br /><br />That said, the burden mechanics has to go to some change compared to LOTR TCG, what we did is let the "ring-bearer" (Bilbo) start WITHOUT the ring and added mechanics to gain (and want to gain) the ring during the game, called "Riddles" Maneuver events. That maybe not the best solution, but at least Bilbo is still central to winning that way. Burdens or doubts can simply be considered as Bilbo wanting to return home. And without him there can be no success as we all know!

If Bilbo dies or is corrupted, you lose the game.", which is the way we play with the actual Canadian set. So obviously I think that's the right way to go!<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946343704025220300noreply@blogger.com
