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

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

When a card says you must either do X or do Y, can you choose the option you cannot fully complete?

The FAQ wording is read two ways in the forum, and no official ruling is quoted here to settle it.

Usually not. If one option can be carried out in full, you must choose it. You may choose freely only when neither can be carried out in full, and then you do as much of the chosen option as you can. Some players read the wording differently, and the chosen option must still be able to change the game state.
