In both rulesets, you play sites in order on one single path that both players must traverse. At the end of the [[Fellowship Phase]], the [[Fellowship]] moves to the next-numbered site in the [[Site Path|site path]]. If that site isn't already in play, the current [[Shadow]] player plays one from their [[adventure deck]]. Under the older rules, there's no choice: the Shadow player simply plays whichever site has the correct number. When using the later site path, the Shadow player picks their choice of site from any of the sites remaining in their adventure deck, and that site is now considered to have the correct number. This means that while the player who has advanced the furthest down the site path is in the lead, the player who is behind is compensated by being allowed to choose the site path for both players. | In both rulesets, you play sites in order on one single path that both players must traverse.

Also in both rulesets, sites 3 and 6 are [[Sanctuary|sanctuaries]] where the Fellowship heals five wounds (or all wounds, if there are less) if they are there at the start of the [[Fellowship Phase]]. Pre-Shadows sanctuary sites have the '''Sanctuary''' keyword printed on them and a different border (and generally lower [[ | Also in both rulesets, sites 3 and 6 are [[Sanctuary|sanctuaries]] where the Fellowship heals five wounds (or all wounds, if there are less) if they are there at the start of the [[Fellowship Phase]]. Pre-Shadows sanctuary sites have the '''Sanctuary''' keyword printed on them and a different border (and generally lower [[Twilight Number|twilight numbers]]), while under the post-Shadows rules, any site you play at 3 or 6 instead gains the sanctuary keyword as long as it is site 3 or 6. | ||
Cards that refer to specific sites refer to a site with that number from the same block. {{Card|Haldir, Elf of the Golden Wood}} is specifically referring to sites 6, 7, and 8 in the Fellowship Block site path. He does not get a strength bonus in any other format, since he will never be at Fellowship site 6, 7, or 8. The next two blocks have a symbol matching the theme of the block to set their sites apart. "Site 6" is Fellowship Block site 6, "Site 6{{Block|Tower}}" is Towers Block site 6, "Site 6{{Block|king}}" is King Block site 6, and "any Site 6" means it works at any site numbered 6 regardless of the site path in use. This rule was first introduced with [[Towers Block]]. and The switch to a new path rendered many cards, like {{Card|Hobbit Farmer}} or {{Card|Goblin Domain}}, obsolete. It was an unpopular and somewhat confusing rule change, and Decipher went out of their way to limit its impact in the next block. King Block only had a handful of cards that referred to specific King Block sites (eg {{Card|Frodo, Wicked Masster!}}), and in [[Mount Doom|the third set in King Block]], all cards that referred to specific sites referred to "any site" of a given number (eg {{Card|Final Strike}}). (After Shadows, cards generally apply to [[Region|regions]] instead.) This rule about entirely separate site paths and block icons does not apply to the site numbers on [[minion]] cards, but it does apply to the [[Home Site|home sites]] of [[Ally|allies]]. | Cards that refer to specific sites refer to a site with that number from the same block. {{Card|Haldir, Elf of the Golden Wood}} is specifically referring to sites 6, 7, and 8 in the Fellowship Block site path.
