The Taming of Sméagol

The Land of Shadow Saga Expansion starts with "The Passage of the Marshes" (and technically the first quest card is entitled The Taming of Sméagol), but it's missing the Emyn Muil part of Frodo & Same travel to Mount Doom.

Thankfully, the Emyn Muil region was explored early in the game, during the first cycle, Shadow of Mirkwood. So I figured I would simply use The Hills of Emyn Muil encounter set to propose a Saga Quest covering the events of the first chapter of The Two Towers (part 2).

To play this quest you need The Hills of Emyn Muil encounter set, the Sauron's Reach encounter set (from the Core Set) and both Gollum and Nazgûl encounter sets from The Land of Shadow and The Ring from The Black Riders. I chose to exclude the Orcs of Dol Guldur encounter set for thematic purposes and the added Gollum enemy as well as the Nazgûls gives a bit of tension, on the enemy side.

Of course, I've included Campaign Mode (a campaign card with instructions and a new Boon).
