In The Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game, â€‹â€‹Sauron's shadow has fallen across Middle-earth, and the One Ring must be destroyed. In order to complete their daunting quest, players need to work together to help cherished Lord of the Rings characters journey from The Shire to the fires of Mordor, all while avoiding the Eye of Sauron. This third entry into Ravensburger's "adventure book" line is broken into eight "chapters" that are experienced over eight different board game "pages". Each new chapter provides puzzles and challenges that players need to overcome to advance the story. The game allows for flexible play for solo or co-operative family gaming, so players can choose their style of adventure, and each chapter takes approximately twenty minutes to play.

[Designer] I am really proud of the work Marcus Ross and I did designing this game. It was a fun challenge to come up with cooperative puzzles with some random and uncertain elements while also making the experience family friendly.

love lord of the rings and books especially choose your own adventure type ones so this one seems like it would be a lot of fun

Looking forward to the game as I have previously played the Princess Bride game as well. Don't trust ratings of games before they're even out -- as previous rating by other users are noted below (i.e. 6.5 rating). I've left no rating as the game isn't even out yet to even rate. Logic.

Jay Little & I poured nearly a year of our lives into seemingly endless revisions of every chapter to make this the best LotR experience we could manage. It's not a heavy game, but the tradeoff is you can complete the entire campaign in one evening and enjoy a deeply thematic experience.
