However, remember that even in a 3-players game, the FP plays as in the 4-players game - he must still split his dice between Gondor/Elves and Rohan/North/Dwarves.
He can co-ordinate a little better than the Shadow because he's only one brain instead of two (that may be a disadvantage as well!), but his forces still do not have perfect coordination, and he has less cards in hand than his opponents combined.
So there is not any significant imbalance in a 3-players game.

Thanks for that reminder! In any case, this game is fantastic as a multiplayer experience and makes a tremendous impression at any game night! I've got people begging me to bring my CE over and people fight for the chance to play!
Part of what makes it so interesting is the rule about being able trade a card with your partner, but not being able to discuss plans directly. That's not to say all sorts of social 'hints' aren't tossed around with expected groans from the gallery. But that's part of the fun!
