 There are many other card games out there, some of which have terms or slang that have worked their way into common gamer usage. You might encounter casual usage of those terms in conversations about the Lord of the Rings TCG, some of which you can find defined below.
-== Term 1 ==
+== Chump Blocking ==
-A definition
+Chump blocking might be done intentionally to get that character killed, for instance if your Fellowship is too large and you want to avoid being  [[Rule of 6|vulnerable]] to cards like {{Card|Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul}}. Occasionally, it might be because that character [[bear]]s a condition like {{Card|Desperate Defense of the Ring}} or {{Card|Sense of Obligation}} that makes them a liability. Even more rarely, the card might itself have harmful gametext, like {{Card|Aragorn, Strider}} or {{Card|Denethor, On the Edge of Madness}}.
-== Term B ==
+Another reason is because the character is useless or used up, and either can't be [[heal]]ed any more or is no longer an attractive target for healing. Oftentimes this includes characters who exert to produce some effect or produce their main effect when they come into play, like {{Card|Legolas, Greenleaf}} or {{Card|Pippin, Hobbit of Some Intelligence}}, characters who are only in the deck to for a situational benefit, like {{Card|Radagast, The Brown}}, or relatively weak characters, like most [[Hobbit]]s. In the case of {{Card|Sam, Son of Hamfast}}, he's all three, and it's rare that he'll survive to site 9.

+Another common case is that you just don't have any other plan to deal with some horrific [[minion]]. If you're careless and {{Card|Sauron, the Lord of the Rings}} comes down, you may not have a better option than feeding two of your weakest [[companion]]s to him. The characters you throw in front of Sauron to die might be quite important and valuable, but none of them are more valuable than the [[ring-bearer]]!
