In these rules, two mistakes are made.CRF, Rulings by Term, Multi-player Games:
Only the moving player, and the hazard player drawing cards based on his movement, may take advantage of drawing cards, including cards drawn for events like The Nazgul are Abroad and From the Pits of Angband. These two players are also the only ones who may discard a card at the end of the turn. All players reset their hand size when any turn or movement/hazard phase ends.
1. No such thing as a moving player exists. The active resource player might have several companies, each of which having their moving/hazard phase(s).
2. There is a distinction between the end-of-turn phase and the end of the turn, which is here used incorrectly. Players reconcile their hand (including a possible discard of 1 card) during the end-of-turn phase, not at the end of the turn. This is relevant, as during the end-of-turn phase some cards can still be played.
