[The Saucepan Man]

The Repping Game

Liven up dinner parties and family gatherings with this fun new game from Barrow Downs Inc™. Each player starts with one green jewel. Players take it in turn to ask Tolkien-related questions from cards. All the other players must answer and then vote on who has provided the wisest or wittiest answer. That player receives a green jewel from each player or, if a player has none, from the bank. The aim of the game is to amass eleven jewels before anyone else can.

To make things more interesting, the game comes with various joker cards. Play the HerenIstarion the Munificent card to instantly gain a jewel from every player. The Wisdom of Davem card requires every player to give you one jewel a turn for the rest of the game, while the Professor Hedgethistle's Canonicity card allows the current round to go on and on and on and ...

You can play the Burrahobbit's Soundbite card to restrict players to a one line answer to the current question. And, if you don't like the question, the Admin cards allow you to skip it and go to the next question. The Mod cards (Estelyn and Legolas) do the same thing - but only for certain questions.

Play the Child and Pio cards to take the game into a special RPG round, or the Saucepan Man card to start a Quiz or Quotes round (extra jewels here if you have the Quotes of Guinevere or Lindolirian's Six Degrees of Separation cards).

Fun for all the family. But if anyone starts taking it all seriously - remember it's just a game - it's the fun of taking part and the discussions that it engenders that count.

Warning: Requires a dangerously obsessive level of Tolkien-related knowledge.

Actually, that sounds like quite a fun game ...

[Meneltarmacil]

New from Barrowdowns-products! The Oddwen/Nilpaurion Fegalund/Meneltarmacil pack! Get them near any of Tolkien's writings, and they will immediately start to parody it in wild and wacky ways!

And don't forget the Meneltarmacil action figure's giant rock-throwing action every time Nilpaurion Felagund gets within five feet.

The Meela action figure comes complete with every single quote about Denethor in all of Tolkien's works and comes with matches and lighter fluid in case you get bored with it.

[Gil-Galad]

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

And don't forget the Meneltarmacil action figure's giant rock-throwing action every time Nilpaurion Felagund gets within five feet. (Menel)

Plus the Nilpaurion Felagund's double action figure. Catches all rocks, thunderbolts, and angry birds thrown by Meneltarmacil action figure.

As a bonus, Nilpaurion Fegalund comes pre-programmed with his alter ego, Adam! Participate as Oddwen and Meneltarmacil slowly go insane! (Oddie)

Don't forget Alice the lesser-known alter-ego (much like Huor ).

Except you, Helen. You could always look at a mirror.

But beware...he can also end the game. Or at least convince players to do so.

See I was thinking it could also come with a picture of Denethor.
