Kellenburg: Overview: Replaced "Move your boat" with "Move your ships"

===Overview===

Move your ships, please customers, and construct buildings to have the most points over 2 Eras

===Turn===

At the start of your turn, you may choose to spend Divine Favor in order to change your dice value by 1 up or down, your sun value is how much divine favor you have whilst your moon value is the maximum you can currently hold

After which, you can take an action between: Build, Sail, or Deliver

Thirdly, if able you're allowed to claim Masteries, these are shared goals with the first person to complete them gaining more points than later claimants. You can claim as many Masteries as you currently satisfy, but can only claim each unique Mastery once.

Finally, roll your dice in preparation for next turn

Note: You can only hold 25 Koku and 6 copies of each trade good at any one point

===Build===

Pick an empty shore space which matches the icon on the dice

Pay the Koku cost displayed there, if you cannot pay it then you cannot build there

Take a building tile of your choice and add it to the space, if you take the tile at the end of the row then you get a bonus of 1 Divine Favor

Place one of your Clan Markers on it and move your Influence marker for the corresponding region the number of spaces depicted on the building bonus

Gain any rewards from the influence track if you pass or land on them

Add a new tile into the building row and slide all the others along, if this was the last tile from Era 1 then it will trigger Emperor's Visit (see below)
===Sail===

Pick a single ship of yours and move it downriver by the value of your dice

Each river space is connected to 4 building spaces

Gain the rewards shown of the point, an empty space always gives 1 Koku, whilst the built structures have various rewards

The owners of any buildings you just gathered from also gain the reward shown on the flat end of the tile, furthest from the river, if you own a building you gathered from you gain both rewards

If the owner reward is Influence, it is the track associated with the region the building is based at

If your ship just reached the end of the river, gain either 3 Koku or 1 Trade Good, discard the building tile at the end of the building row (This may cause an Emperor's Visit), then put the ship back at the start of the river and complete any further movement points you still have

===Deliver===

Pick a card in your hand which has a dice symbol matching the dice you hold

Discard the Trade Goods in its request area (Dark banner under name)

If you can't satisfy either of these first two steps, then you cannot take this action

Place the card in your playing area

A Tick reward is gained immediately

A cycled reward is an ongoing benefit

A cup reward is an end game effect

Draw 2 new cards, then discard 1 from your hand (which can be an old one or one just drawn)

===Trade===
At any time you may Trade:

Exchange two of the same Trade Good for one of any other Trade Good.

Exchange five Koku to gain one Divine Favor.

===Emperor's Visit ===

When the last building tile from Era I is moved into the available supply for the first time, this triggers a Visit after the current player has finished their turn

All players gain the ownership reward of their buildings the same way as if a ship had visited

After which, place the Era 2 deck into play and continue

===Game End===

This is triggered similar to the Emperor's Visit, but when Era 2 deck is depleted

*The player who triggered it scores 5 points, then each other player gets a bonus turn
*Score each Influence region by rank, 1st ahead, 2nd ahead, and 3rd ahead where applicable, if you are not on a track you cannot score a rank. If tied, the tied players add their ranks together and divide evenly, with the excess points ignored.
*Customers have two scoring parts
**First, score customers with any end game scoring conditions
**Secondly, score customers simply by how many you obtained

* Add to this any Mastery rewards obtained during the game

The player with the most points, wins!

If tied, the player with the most remaining Divine Favor wins!

For more information on how to play the game, see [https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/436217/the-lord-of-the-rings-fate-of-the-fellowship/files the rulebook files available on BoardGameGeek.]

=== Turn Structure ===
Players take turns in clockwise order, following these 3 steps each turn:

# '''Do Actions'''
# '''Draw 2 Player Cards'''
# '''Draw Shadow Cards'''

==== 1. DO ACTIONS ====
On your turn, you may do up to 4 actions with 1 of your characters and up to 1 action with the other. You can do actions with either character first, but you must complete all of the actions with 1 character before doing any actions with the other character.

Click the circular ? button on the bottom left of the screen to see a list of actions. Some objective cards have special actions required to complete them, and some characters have special actions only they can perform included on their character cards.

==== 2. DRAW 2 PLAYER CARDS ====
After doing actions with your characters, draw the top 2 cards together from the player deck.

If the player deck runs out of cards, lose 1 hope for each player card you cannot draw.

If your card draw includes any Skies Darken cards, resolve them.

If you ever have more than 7 cards in hand (after first resolving any Skies Darken cards you may have drawn), discard cards and/or play events until you have 7 cards in hand.

==== 3. DRAW SHADOW CARDS ====
Flip over the top card of the shadow deck and place it face-up next to the shadow deck. Only half of the flipped card will be resolved.

If a red flag is now showing on top of the shadow deck, resolve the top section of the flipped card. This section advances shadow troops towards havens along the colored battle lines on the map. After advancing shadow troops, '''roll a battle''' in each location on the battle line containing both shadow troops and friendly troops. If shadow troops now occupy a haven and no friendly troops are present, it becomes a shadow stronghold: Cover the haven with a shadow stronghold token and lose 3 hope.

If a black banner is now showing on the top of the shadow deck, resolve the bottom section of the flipped card. This section reinforces a shadow location with 1 additional shadow troop and resolves a special order that can shift the Eye of Sauron or move Nazgûl to other regions.

Do this a number of times equal to the current threat rate listed on the threat rate track.

'''Special Shadow Cards:''' The Drums of War and the Wheels of Saruman operate differently from the other shadow cards. If either of these cards is drawn, follow the instructions on the card instead of advancing or reinforcing.

=== Winning and Losing ===
The players win the game when Frodo successfully completes the Destroy The One Ring objective. You all lose the game if Frodo loses all hope (i.e., the hope marker reaches the 0 space on the hope track).

==== COMPLETING OBJECTIVES ====
The requirements for completing each objective are listed on each card. When these are met, follow the When Completed rules on the card.

You may complete the Destroy The One Ring objective only after you have completed all the other objective cards.

==== LOSING HOPE ====
These are the main ways to lose hope:

* If you roll a search and get despair results (lose 1 each).
* If you draw a Skies Darken card when the Eye of Sauron is in Frodo's region (lose 2).
* If shadow troops take over a haven (lose 3).
* If you need to add a shadow troop when there aren't any in the supply (lose 1 per missing troop).
* If you need to draw a player card when there aren't any in the deck (lose 1 per missing card).

==== GAINING HOPE ====
If you capture a shadow stronghold, gain 2 hope. Many objectives and some abilities also let you gain hope. If the hope marker is at the top of the track, you cannot gain any more hope.

=== Turn Structure ===
Players take turns in clockwise order, following these 3 steps each turn:

# '''Do Actions'''
# '''Draw 2 Player Cards'''
# '''Draw Shadow Cards'''

==== 1. DO ACTIONS ====
On your turn, you may do up to 4 actions with 1 of your characters and up to 1 action with the other. You can do actions with either character first, but you must complete all of the actions with 1 character before doing any actions with the other character.

Click the circular ? button on the bottom left of the screen to see a list of actions. Some objective cards have special actions required to complete them, and some characters have special actions only they can perform included on their character cards.

==== 2. DRAW 2 PLAYER CARDS ====
After doing actions with your characters, draw the top 2 cards together from the player deck.

If the player deck runs out of cards, lose 1 hope for each player card you cannot draw.

If your card draw includes any Skies Darken cards, resolve them.

If you ever have more than 7 cards in hand (after first resolving any Skies Darken cards you may have drawn), discard cards and/or play events until you have 7 cards in hand.

==== 3. DRAW SHADOW CARDS ====
Flip over the top card of the shadow deck and place it face-up next to the shadow deck. Only half of the flipped card will be resolved.

* If a red flag is now showing on top of the shadow deck, resolve the top section of the flipped card. This section advances shadow troops towards havens along the colored battle lines on the map. After advancing shadow troops, '''roll a battle''' in each location on the battle line containing both shadow troops and friendly troops. If shadow troops now occupy a haven and no friendly troops are present, it becomes a shadow stronghold: Cover the haven with a shadow stronghold token and lose 3 hope.
* If a black banner is now showing on the top of the shadow deck, resolve the bottom section of the flipped card. This section reinforces a shadow location with 1 additional shadow troop and resolves a special order that can shift the Eye of Sauron or move Nazgûl to other regions.

Do this a number of times equal to the current threat rate listed on the threat rate track.

'''Special Shadow Cards:''' The Drums of War and the Wheels of Saruman operate differently from the other shadow cards. If either of these cards is drawn, follow the instructions on the card instead of advancing or reinforcing.

=== Winning and Losing ===
The players win the game when Frodo successfully completes the Destroy the One Ring objective. You all lose the game if Frodo loses all hope (i.e., the hope marker reaches the 0 space on the hope track).

==== COMPLETING OBJECTIVES ====
The requirements for completing each objective are listed on each card. When these are met, follow the When Completed rules on the card.

You may complete the Destroy the One Ring objective only after you have completed all the other objective cards.

==== LOSING HOPE ====
These are the main ways to lose hope:

* If you roll a search and get despair results (lose 1 each).
* If you draw a Skies Darken card when the Eye of Sauron is in Frodo's region (lose 2).
* If shadow troops take over a haven (lose 3).
* If you need to add a shadow troop when there aren't any in the supply (lose 1 per missing troop).
* If you need to draw a player card when there aren't any in the deck (lose 1 per missing card).

==== GAINING HOPE ====
If you capture a shadow stronghold, gain 2 hope. Many objectives and some abilities also let you gain hope. If the hope marker is at the top of the track, you cannot gain any more hope.
