Strategy Tip
In this adventure the heroes are sneaking into Mordor by way of the tunnels of Torech Gorgor - a labyrinthian cave system under the Ash Mountains. There is little chance of finding food or water during the passage, so the heroes must move quickly to reach the other side before their supplies run out.
To represent the theme of dwindling supplies, the quest stages and encounter deck will discard cards from the top of your player deck. If you have no cards in your deck at the end of the round, your characters starve to death and you're eliminated from the game.
In order to avoid that horrible fate, players will need to be more judicious than normal when it comes to triggering various card-drawing abilities. Think carefully before you use these abilities as each card that you take into your hand is one less card in your deck, and one step closer to being eliminated.
