← All The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Revised Core Set questions

Can a card effect target or affect another player's heroes, allies or enemies?

Several players across different threads agree that targeting depends on the 'you control' wording.

Usually yes. Unless the text says you control the target, it can be any character in play, including another player's hero, and an ability such as Boromir's affects every ally in play. Allies always belong to their owner, so they cannot be played on another player's side, and a cost can only be paid with cards you control.
