Tolkien Christmas Gifts

[Boromir88]

Seeing that the EE has recently come out, I'm sure that would make a pretty fine gift.

Does anyone know if the trivia in the LotR Trivial Pursuit is from the movie or thebook?

From a toy store page-

Product Description: Classic Trivial Pursuit game play with 1,800 The Lord of the Rings questions based on the movie trilogy.

Yep, it's the movies.

At first I didn't want to get it because it was about the movies (because I know more about the books), but my mom pointed out that it levels the playing field a bit if I were to play it with my friends. If the game was about the books I'd kick their butts, but they've watched the movie as many times as I have so they might give me some competition that way.

I'm you're a Risk player, you might as well buy LOTR Risk. That's one thing I'm getting for Christmas.

And ROTK EE... well... that goes without saying.

(oh, if you want a book-based game, check this out)

There are (as far as I know) two games - one based on the book and one based on the films. See this thread for further information: Lotr trivial pursuit.

I would certainly recommend the book-based game, which I reviewed on the thread linked to above.

Personally, I am hoping that Santa will bring me this game for Christmas. It looks gorgeous - worth it for the gameboard alone.

I know the book trivial pursuit (and probably the movie one too) can be found at Barnes and Noble.

I also love the LOTR Risk Game, brings back the fun 8 hr days of risk, only LOTR style.

SpM, I haven't played the War of the Ring yet, but also another good one looks like the Battle for Middle-Earth. (click)

Oh, love all the trivia games! *drool*

I'm hoping for some of the HoME books, personally, and the GBA game of "LotR: The Third Age". *bounces* And a new LotR calender.

Another thing, which I will probably be getting for myself, is Blind Guardian's CD "Nightfall in Middle-earth". Silm songs! Huzzah!

I have the film based Trivial Pursuit but so far nobody has dared to play it with me. I can recommend the 50th Anniversary Tolkien Calendar as it's simply beautiful with all Tolkien's own artwork. It's much nicer than the film calendars. Or have a rummage on e-bay for the UK Royal Mail Tolkien stamps which were issued earlier this year - they look good in a frame, I can personally vouch for this. 'Tis getting rather late for shopping now though, isn't it? You might get trampled by the hordes!

Anyone sending a request for a gift to me by PM before Christmas (and providing me with their e-mail address) will get two Christmas Gifts from HerenIstarion. What they are precisely will remain a secret (call it surprise )

Cheers
