In The Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game, 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.

Bought this to play with the wife. Ended up playing with kids. 6-7 year old daughter loves it even though she doesn't know the movies/books. For me, it's very thematic to the movies, so quite enjoyable. We mostly play with 2 now since the youngest had nightmares about dark riders (just from the game). We're on chapter 6/8.

Very fun and tight gameplay but really lacks in replayability unless you progressively add some house rules to make it much harder, even then it only adds another play through or two.

We love LOTR but this is very simplistic move and set collection game. After the third chapter we had enough. The challenges are pretty much rinse repeat with slight modification. Very unfortunate as the art work and miniatures is nice.
