Playing the Gondorians Starter Deck

The Kingdom of Gondor has been beset by enemies for centuries. As the defenders of the Free Peoples' easter flank, the Gondorians have thrived with their backs up against the wall.

One of the major driving forces of this deck is a group of cards that work optimally when your thread is 40 or higher, such as Angbor the Fearless and Soldier of Gondor. You may want to let your threat increase a bit faster than normal, to activate these powerful abilities.

However, take care when doing so that you don't let your threat get too high - you'll be walking a fine line between activating your card abilities and losing the game. A few thread reduction effects, like Pillars of the Kings and Gandalf, are available in the deck to assist in managing this aspect of the game.

Another intriguing feature of this deck is the ability that you unlock by attacking the Visionary Leadership card to Boromir. both of these cards will work best when you have extra resources in Boromir's resource pool.

This means you'll have to pay extra attention to your spending, and sometimes hold back on playing a card to preserve the extra tokens in your resource pools. There are a number of other cards in the deck, such as Steward of Gondor and Squire of the Citadel, that can be used to manage your resources and ensure that these abilities are active at critical times.
