HUNT ALLOCATION AND ACTION ROLL

The Shadow player, during the Hunt Allocation phase, places the number of Action dice into the Hunt Box that he wants to devote to the Hunt for the Ring.

If one or more Fellowship Action dice were in the Hunt Box at the end of the previous turn, he must place a minimum of 1 die in the Hunt Box.

The maximum number of dice he can place in the Hunt Box is equal to the number of Companions currently in the Fellowship (note that the Ring-bearers are not considered to be a Companion and do not add to this maximum).

However, the Shadow player may always place at least one die in the Hunt Box, even if all the Companions have left the Fellowship.

The dice placed in the Hunt Box are not rolled, but the Shadow player rolls the remaining dice in his dice pool, and all dice showing an “Eye” result are immediately added to the Hunt Box as well.

The Free Peoples player simply rolls his entire Action dice pool.
