![]() From the top of the card down it’s Good Characters, Evil Characters, Things, Places and History, Warfare and then the Sport and Leisure equivalent: Making of the Films i.e. ![]() So that brings me to the categories – you get a nice variety. Did you know there were two people employed for the sole purpose of attaching tiny rings together to make authentic chain-mail for the armies – Peter Jackson goes hard or goes home! So NOTE: these questions refer to the extended editions of the films but tbh if you don’t own the extended editions – Why are you even here? (It’s hobbiton) But then you’ve got Question 6 which you are unlikely to know unless you’ve trawled through the extended edition special features – I’ve got pretty far. But you might need to think a little about 4 for example. Question 1 – obviously butter nice and easy. Here you can see the level of difficulty. But most importantly, I am able to get a majority of questions right because I know the films so well, but because they are so obscure you gain great satisfaction from being so sad (/amazingly awesome) and knowing the exact quote and intonation it is said in when you answer. But the Lord of the Rings questions are difficult enough that you have to pause on some questions and give them a good think. Okay – so the main reason it is such a good game is because the question difficulty is spot on! Unlike Harry Potter trivial pursuit which is way too easy! Or James Bond trivial pursuit which is doable but really quite hard unless you watch all 20+ films in good detail (but tbh it’s probably my failings not the questions). However I think it is totally worth the investment for proper fans and I will now tell you why. So I am now heartily glad to have one to call my own! Particularly when you can only basically buy used ones on Amazon and they’re still like 50 quid. ![]() It was particularly amazing as I had not asked for it! Now, I had already played it when my friend got it last year but I was starting to worry about who would get custody of her game if heaven forbid something awful were to happen to her. The Risk game will hit shelves in December.So one of the best Christmas presents I received this year was without a doubt the Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit Board Game! So I shall tell you what I thought. Rob has mentioned the possibility that owners of the previous edition will be able to purchase an add-on kit from Hasbro, rather than having to buy an entirely new game, but I do not believe that this has been officially announced. This is not quite the same game as the ‘expansion set’ published in Europe, which is a bit confusing. “I suppose it should also be mentioned that Hasbro will be republishing the Risk: Lord of the Rings with a larger board, some new cards, and much better-written rules. Gives some downside and risk to the game. Essentially, these rules are for groups who can If you have no wedges and it lands on your space (on its way to the ringbearer) thenĪt the end of the game, you must have the ring and make it to the If the wraith lands on the same space as the ringbearer, it takes a pie wedge away. ![]() But, at the end of EVERY PERSON’S turn, the ringwraith moves 1-6 spaces to the ringbearer. Having the ring lets you skip a question once per turn. ![]() The most recent person to get a ‘pie wedge’ is the ringbearer. Bascially, there is a ringwraith and The Ring. Q: What special rules, unique to the LotR Edition, have been added to the game?Ī: The “Fan Rules” allow people who know LOTR well to still play without having a short game. They weren’t writers so we had local writers add/polish/edit them so that they were clearer and written in US-English. Q: Who wrote the questions and answers ?Ī: The questions were generated, in part, by some of the people in New Zealand who worked on the film. Below are Ostadan’s questions, along with Mr. Torn Staffer Ostadan had the opportunity to speak with Rob Daviau of Hasbro last month about Hasbro’s forthcoming LotR Edition of Trivial Pursuit. ![]()
