Tokens

From LOTR-TCG Wiki
Blood-red tokens frequently used to represent Wounds.
Dark grey or black tokens frequently used to represent Twilight.

There are a small variety of tokens used in the LOTR-TCG for a variety of purposes. Typically they all take the form of small glass beads, such as the wound tokens shown to the right. Some tables prefer to track certain tokens using dice counters instead.

Wound Tokens[edit]

Wound Tokens are usually blood-red, though any color can be used so long as you have enough. These tokens double for Threats, and in a pinch they can be used for a variety of culture tokens as well.

Twilight Tokens[edit]

Twilight Tokens are dark tokens used to represent the influence of Shadow on the Fellowship, so usually represented by black or dark grey glass tokens. These often double as Burdens, and can also be used for culture tokens as well. In general it's more important to have quantity over quality for twilight tokens, so you might use anything you have lots of, such as pennies.


Culture Tokens[edit]

Culture Tokens are used on various support area conditions, such as Ships of Great Draught. In real-world games, twilight tokens or wound tokens can be used. In electronic media, a token with the culture icon on it is usually used.
