## Rules questions

### Can I lead with a Rings card?

You may not lead the Rings suit until a Rings card has already been played to a trick (when the Ring token is flipped); the only exception is if a player holds only Rings cards, in which case they may lead Rings. (page 7)

### What does the 1-of-Rings do — does it auto-win tricks?

The 1-of-Rings is a special priority card within the Rings suit and can win tricks under the Rings rules; it also interacts with the Ring token and certain Frodo rules, so treat it as the highest-priority Rings card. (pages 7, 12)

### Can Frodo give away the 1-of-Rings during setup exchanges?

No — if a character holds the 1-of-Rings, Frodo cannot exchange that card during setup; Frodo may not exchange the 1. (page 5)

### Can players show cards or talk freely about their hands?

No — communication is limited to public discussion only; players may not reveal or show cards from their hands. (page 8)

### How does a round end — how do we win or lose a chapter?

A round ends when the chapter’s victory or defeat conditions are met; you win by completing the chapter’s required character goals and lose if the chapter’s loss conditions (from the Threats/events) trigger. (page 9)

### In 2-player pyramid mode, which cards can we exchange during setup?

In the 2-player pyramid setup, exchanges are allowed only from the bottom row of the pyramid; the full pyramid layout and exchange rules are described for 2-player play. (pages 20–21)
