| This is an easy playing, funny boardgame for 2-4 players with much interaction between the players. The design and graphics of the game are taken from the Bakshi-Film. The players start the game in Rivendell, each player having 5 playing cards. In turn, players can choose between moving, playing a card (and drawing a new one) or discarding a card (and drawing a new one). At some points of the voyage (Bree, Rivendell, Lorien), the players get Rings (Yellow Plastic Cicles) which they can use to run from Orcs and Nazguls. The first player who reaches Mount Doom with a Ring left wins the game. On their way, players may encounter Orcs or Nazgul which they may defeat by rolling the die (waiting till they toss a "5" or "6") |  |

| A very important element of the game are the playing cards by which players may hinder each other. Players may steal Rings, may move other Players on Hexes occupied by Monsters or they may even force others to change hands. Also included are some cards which allow a quick vitory against monsters. At first sight, the gameboard is a real joke. Honestly, the map has nearly no similiarity with Middle Earth, and I think the game was designed by people who just had read a short summary of the "Lord Of the Rings". BUT: When you give the game a try, you will discover that it is quite playable. Average playing time is 45 min., and I personally grew to like the game, since it doesn´t have many rules and it really makes fun to make such a "run" on Mount Doom... |  |
