Question about playing two cards

By Landrim, in The Lord of the Rings: The Board Game

Me and a friend have been playing this game over and over the last three days and we love it. However, there is one rule that confuses us.

When playing two cards, you play one grey and one brown card. So far so good, but here's were we have some trouble; does both cards be of the same suit, or can you play say one grey shield card and one brown axe card in the same round?

We have been playing that the two cards have to be of the same suit. This works fine but we never seem to have enough time to finish the conflicts before the Event track runs out.

They do not need to be of the same suit.

Really? Great! Thanks a bunch! :)

Hopefully this will change the game a little, not that it is a bad game as we have played it. But now we might actually finish a Conflict or two. Hopefully. :P
