Get some use out of all of the hours you spent watching the Lord of the rings movies. This game is fun and even my 2 1/2 year old can set it up and follow the rules. The only bad point would be that I wish that it had more questions for longer game play.

The "Lord of the Rings" Trivial Pursuit game is a great way to have fun with the movies, especially if you aren't very familiar with them. However, there aren't many questions from the books; the focus of the game is entirely on the three movies. This means that if you're a bigger Tolkien buff, you won't be very challenged; I and my friends went through the whole game in an evening and knew almost every question. Overall, it's good for those who want a movie-oriented game, but if you know very much about Tolkien, you're wasting money buying this; you'll know it all already.

Here's a chance to prove your knowledge of the classic tale, The Lord of the Rings!
I seem to be in a minority among the reviewers here: I am a huge fan of the books, but I also like the board game. I must confess that I really liked what Peter Jackson did with the movies though.
I opened this game with a bit of trepidation, not knowing what to expect - whether it would be just a pathetic game that would still sell because of all the popularity for LOTR at the time, or whether it would be well set out. The first thing that impressed me was that the pieces include pewter figurines. I know that doesn't affect game play itself, but the extra quality was a good sign. No cheap and nasty plastic figurines here.
Playing the games turned out to be a lot of fun. The questions range widely in difficulty and category. This is the one Trivial Pursuit that I can play that has a fairly level playing field. I have 4 different Trivial Pursuit games and the other ones tend to really leave people out that don't have a good trivial knowledge - that's the name of the game, after all! - but with this I find that I can play with people who aren't big trivia buffs and, so long as they've seen the movies, they have a fairly equal chance of winning.
As other reviewers have mentioned, the category that really stands out is the "making of". That includes information that you won't pick up from just seeing the movies; you need to have gone through the extras on the DVDs. So those ones can stump all but the most avid film fans quite often. But that doesn't hinder game play for us.
I recommend this for anyone who has seen the Lord of the Rings films and enjoys trivia games. It's the first Trivial Pursuit I've owned that has places all the players on a reasonably level footing.

I, like those who have reviewed this game before, was expecting trivia questions based on the Lord of the Rings books. However, they all come from the Peter Jackson films. If you are a die-hard LOTR fan, hoping to be challenged for your original trilogy knowledge, this game is not for you.
This is not to say that I don't enjoy the films. I do very much. However, even for me, these questions were no challenge. If you have seen the extended versions of the films and have explored the extra features and commentary, these questions are a breeze. Any remotely-interesting questions were easily answered, but there were a number of questions where I would ask myself, "who cares?!" particularly 'number' questions. These included "How many candles are on the chandelier that Gandalf bumps into at Bag End?" and "How many days of the shoot were Sean Astin's Hobbit feet needlessly applied because they weren't seen on-screen?" Given more time, I'm sure I could offer many more of these gems.
As for the game itself, it is in typical Trivial Pursuit format. The board has a faded image of a Middle-Earth map in the background and an image of the One Ring framing the Eye of Sauron in the center. The game pieces are interesting, but I would recommend getting the LOTR edition of Monopoly instead if those are what interest you.
A previous reviewer mentioned another item called The Lord of the Rings Trivia Game. As said, the questions come from the books, not the films. This would be a better purchase for those looking for book trivia. I wanted to point out that, unlike before, the game is now available here on Amazon as well. [...]Amazon.com Toys & Games The Lord Of The Rings Trivia Game Book fans should definitely steer clear of the Trivial Pursuit and go for this instead. I hope this has been helpful. Thanks for reading!
