| In the Two Towers, Frodo and Sam strike off on their own, and the storyline is divided into multiples plot threads. Decipher took a gentle approach to this division of characters by introducing the unloaded keyword, Ring-bound, given to those characters who continue to deal directly with the mission of destroying the Ring. All companions could continue to interact with one another in the game, but various cards rewarded players for having an emphasis on one side of the story or another.

|
| Frodo, Tired Traveller, represented this thematic idea by granting a simple ability to remove burdens if ones deck includes ringbound companions. And since he was released as a common and placed into each of the Towers Block starter decks as the default ringbearer, he served as a consistent reminder of the new keyword. It is worth pointing out that the rare version of Frodo released in the same set, {{Card|Frodo, Courteous Halfling}}, specifically rewarded the Fellowship for the inclusion of many unbound companions.

| By the end of the game's production, the number of unbound companions far outweighed the number of ringbound companions--which for the most part include the many versions of Sam, Smeagol, and the Rangers of Ithilien. But Tired Traveller works really well in his specific corner of the game by giving ringbound decks an effortless way to clear burdens. This can allow players to bid high at the outset of games, and works as a defense against minion sides which capitalize on spotting a certain number of burdens.

|
| |
|
| In short, if your deck isn't working with ringbound companions, there's no good reason for using this version of Frodo. But if your deck relies heavily on ringbound companions, this version of Frodo is one of the stronger options.
