About this deal

DECIPHER ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR ONLINE VERSION OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ TRADING CARD GAME". Archived from the original on 2003-12-23 . Retrieved 2009-11-05. There’s nothing outright innovative about this as a board game design, but it’s a clever distillation of the many narrative heavy campaign games currently dominating the board game market. It captures some of the spark of huge crowdfunding titles like Gloomhaven or Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood, utilizing narrative and story to drive a linked session of games. But it accomplishes this with an approachable ruleset that nearly anyone can immediately understand.

Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game Review – Meeple The Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game Review – Meeple

a b Takahashi, Dean (5 December 2013). "Updated: Kabam launches new Hobbit games in advance of 'The Desolation of Smaug' film release". VentureBeat . Retrieved 4 September 2020. Initially it was easier for me to start thinking about this as a product before thinking about this as a game. I had the benefit of seeing the previous Adventure Book Games and got a sense for what sort of gameplay they deliver — but more importantly for me at the time, I got to see what came in the box. I had run numbers and budgets for punchboard, cards, dice, and plastic from my time at Fantasy Flight Games, so I looked at all the bits and pieces from the other Adventure Book Games and tried to get a sense of the material costs and limitations.The Lord of the Ring’s immersive story world unfolded perfectly in our adventure book board game format,” said Shanon Lyon, Game development manager at Ravensburger. While we didn't initially know what we could do, Shanon's experience helped define what we couldn't do. She calculated the actual production costs and developed realistic combinations of possible components; if we want X number of cards, we need to cut out Y pieces of cardboard. Settling on components was one of the hardest challenges and was something constantly being tweaked along the way as we understood what each Chapter needed versus what we wanted. Siemen, Britta (17 October 2014). "Kabam and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Launch 'The Lord of the Rings: Legends of Middle-earth' ". Middle-Earth News . Retrieved 8 December 2020. The system’s first entry was a boxed set (ICE #LR0) containing the scenario "Dawn Comes Early" which also included guidelines, maps, character bios, and cardboard characters with stands. The next was the scenario book "Darker Than the Darkness" (ICE #LR1) and then the scenario book "Over the Misty Mountains Cold" (ICE #LR2). Two more scenario books in the series were planned but never published. Marcus: Jay got me up to speed on the scope of the project, and I dove in immediately. I spent the first weekend re-immersing myself with the extended editions of The Lord of the Rings movies (along with a pen and a notepad). I'd always had a fondness for them, but it had been awhile and I knew I had to up my game for this fandom. Beyond the source material, I just had a lot of catching up to do. I spent the next week getting overly familiar with the prior Adventure Book Games — The Princess Bride and The Wizard of Oz — and rewatching their movies to see how faithfully they had been adapted.

Good, Owen S. (9 May 2022). "EA's making Lord of the Rings games again". Polygon . Retrieved 15 May 2022. This is a list of Middle-earth video games. It includes both video games based directly on J. R. R. Tolkien's books about Middle-earth, and those derived from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films by New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. which in turn were based on Tolkien's novels of the same name. Note that some titles advertised as ports for the most disparate platforms were in fact greatly or completely different games, organized as separate projects, or by independent studios.

“One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor”

Players work together to do things from the movies. In one chapter, you’ll move Frodo and his fellow hobbit friends from the Hearth to the Prancing Pony to Weathertop. Later, you’ll be asked to face off against the Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad-Dûm, or fight Orcs near the Seat of Seeing. No matter the scenario, players will be discarding cards matching one of the six suits from their hand to defeat monsters or complete challenges. Ravensburger evaluates hundreds of game pitches every year, and I had recently submitted several, including a few ideas based on The Lord of the Rings. Ravensburger passed on those submissions, so I thanked them for their time and moved on. I like to think they saw something in those ideas or in my other work because they soon reached out to see whether I'd be interested in working on a different The Lord of the Rings game. It is important to realize that this is aimed at families as well as a younger audience. I felt the most joy working through the game with my nine-year-old, the adventure book facilitating a few evenings of shared storytelling and bonding. The strategic demands are not overly complex and it will not provide the rich gameplay hobbyists tend to seek out in adult game groups, but it accomplishes everything it intends and is worthy.
