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

Each player has one option to engage a single enemy from the staging area during the Optional Engagement step; after that, engagement checks may cause remaining enemies to engage players based on engagement cost versus player threat (p. 24).

Characters committed to a quest remain exhausted through the end of the quest phase and do not ready at quest resolution; cards are readied only during the Refresh step (p. 23, p. 25).

Damage is attack minus defense (if defense ≥ attack, no damage is dealt); if an attack is undefended all damage is assigned to a single hero and a character’s defense value does not absorb damage from undefended attacks (p. 25–26).

Ally and attachment cards may be played during the Planning phase’s special action window (the active player may play as many as they can afford while the window remains open), and action windows also occur at many steps throughout the round for other actions (p. 23, p. 21).

If every attacking character has ranged, you may declare the attack against any enemy engaged with any player, and any number of ranged characters controlled by other players may exhaust to be declared as attackers (p. 26).

Triggered abilities resolve in this order: constant abilities, then forced abilities, then response abilities; within categories, “when” effects resolve before “after,” and if effects still occur simultaneously the first player chooses the order (p. 18).
