I love Monopoly and LotR and this journey on Middle-Earth is indeed crazy By S. Glaser (Manning,SC USA)

I remember reading LotR and I loved the series and the Peter Jackson version. Once I heard of the Monopoly edition of LotR, I was excited. I soon won the LotR Monopoly edition. I came home, invited some relatives and soon had a great time!As you know, Monopoly is a game inwhich you have to be the ultimate monopoly. You buy and sell property, and if you own Mt. Doom and Bara-dur (Boardwalk and Park Place in the original Monopoly) then you get a monopoly. You can build strongholds (houses) and fortresses (hotels) and everytime a rival lands on your property, then he has to give you power (money). If you can't pay the rent then you'll become bankrupt and you are out. You also have to avoid jail. There is some new tokens that resemble characters from LotR. If you had a look at the screenshots of this Monopoly game then you'll notice a lot of changes. But there is a new optional rule you can play with in this version; everytime you roll an "Eye of Sauron" (also counts as one) the golden ring will move to one territory per eye, where you can add strongholds. If you land on a territory with the ring, you may get it for FREE! If you land on an owned territory with the ring on it, you have to pay double the rent. So, if you are a 100% die-hard LotR that only enjoy the books, then you can miss. But if you are looking for a Monopoly board or for LotR stuff, I recommend Monopoly - The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition then Note: If Tolkien lived to see this, he would have died immediately. Infact, I think he's rolling in his grave as I am typing this review. (More Toys and Games…)

Cheap playing pieces!!
By Debbie Crawford "meldeb3k" (Elberton, GA)

Although we love Lord of the Rings and thought it would be fun having a Monopoly version, we were very disappointed at the quality of this game. The playing pieces were extremely cheap, as was the board itself, more like cardboard with paper on it. We hate it!! (More Toys and Games…)
