Strategy[edit]

An important member of the "Hobbit Hospital" strategy, Rosie Cotton, Hobbiton Lass can heal Sam at the cost of an exertion in the Fellowship phase. While Hobbits have access to several healing options with Pipes and Pipeweeds, events such as Hobbit Appetite or Stout and Sturdy, and conditional healing such as The Shire Countryside, allies such as Rosie Cotton, Hobbiton Lass, The Gaffer, Sam's Father, and Farmer Maggot, Chaser of Rascals, are popular for the ability to heal from the support area. The self-healing Hobbit Party Guest and Frodo, Old Bilbo's Heir can effectively "transfer" wounds from [Shire] companions to allies.

Rosie Cotton, Hobbiton Lass is particularly important in a deck that focuses on the bond between Frodo and Sam. A Promise, a condition that increases the two Ring-Bound Hobbits' strength, is only effective when each is not exhausted. Additionally, Rosie Cotton provides an extra strength boost of 1 to Sam when in play.
