Definately an awesome game! - Reviewed on 2008-12-19

Definately an awesome game, but not remotely worth $449. Are they serious? This game is harder than normal Risk, and involves a lot more skill and thought and surprises, which is why I like it.

LOTR risk is one of the best strategy games I have encountered. It incluedes strategy theme based play and over all... It's Lord of the Rings! If you don't have this game you don't know what you're missing out on.

How much better could it get: Risk and Lord of the Rings together? Some drastic improvements in gameplay from original Risk and a great continuation of the movies if you're a fan of that.

If you are a fan of Lord of the Rings then I would highly recommend this board game. It offers a very exciting way of playing RISK in the LOTR world. It has special rules, and game modes that are taylored to LOTR which makes it highly addictive and extremely enjoyable for 2, 3 or 4 players. 2 player game are not out of the question and at times can be the most enjoyable. The level of strategy and thought that goes into planning every attack and card play is very enjoyable. The more you play, the more you realize things that you could have done differently to turn the tide of the war of the ring! I have never played the classic version of RISK and after playing this Lord of the Rings version regularly throughout the summer I have no desire to even attempt regular RISK.

Again, highly recommended for huge LOTR fans and all fans alike. An Epic Game that involves, patience, tactics and strategy in Middle Earth. It is an experience that will bring you very close to the realism captured in the movies. One Ring to Rule them all, One Board Game to Rule them All.
