Lord of the Rings Trivia Game (2003)

About this game

The Lord of the Rings Trivia Game is the ultimate test of your knowledge of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings! In this exciting board game, each player, or team of players, takes on the role of Frodo Baggins and seeks to destroy the One Ring by throwing it into the fires of Mount Doom. As the players travel through 14 areas of Middle-Earth they must spend precious resources and answer challenging questions. There are 1200 questions; all based on the original books and prepared by a team of Tolkien experts. Multiple choice answers can make the game easier for less experienced Middle-Earthers. The winner of the game is the first player or team to reach and successfully face the challenges at Mount Doom.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
