At first glance, this looks very powerful after all, the number of Action Dice available to a player is essentially what determines who will have the greatest chance to fulfil one of his victory conditions. The access to an additional Action Die from the start can be very useful (even with the risk of rolling an Eye), and once Gandalf, Keeper of Narya, becomes a casualty, or separates from the Fellowship, he can still be turned into Gandalf the White to provide his additional Standard Action Die. This alternate Gandalf has the benefit of easily adding an additional, yet slightly weaker, Action Die to the Free Peoples Action Dice Pool. Unlike the two Elven Keepers, you must choose if you want to bring into play Gandalf the Grey, Keeper of Narya before the game begins. Gandalf the Grey, Keeper of Narya Gandalf the Grey, Keeper of Narya Your other option is to save using “Nenya, the Ring of Adamant” until the Fellowship is in Mordor: Remember that, in Mordor, Eyes deal Corruption damage equal to the number of Action Dice in the Hunt box. This use of the Ring will not only help the Ring-bearers to stay hidden and avoid any damage suffered from the Eye tile when drawn outside Mordor as the tile is removed for the remainder of the game, you will also be able to prevent the Eye tile from being placed back into the Hunt Pool once the Fellowship enters Mordor. You could decide to use Galadriel’s Elven Ring to eliminate a drawn Eye tile prior to the Fellowship entering Mordor. There are two different ways you could employ this ability to further your chances of winning the game by undoing the One Ring in the fire of Mount Doom, let us examine them. With the aid of “Nenya, the Ring of Adamant,” you can discard a drawn Standard Hunt tile showing an Eye. This will undoubtedly come in handy as once she is in play the Shadow player might turn his attention towards Lórien, if he hadn’t already done so. Galadriel, Keeper of Nenya Lady Galadriel, Keeper of Nenyaīringing Galadriel into play in Lórien will make the Elven Stronghold even more difficult for the Shadow to conquer, as she allows for Army units to be Mustered directly into the Stronghold, even when under siege.
