On a player’s turn they have a few steps:ġ. So no one takes on the role of Frodo or Gandalf, but the active player gets to move the bits and make the decisions.

There are 6 different suits in the deck.ĭuring the game, everything is controlled by the group. Starting in The Shire, you’ll need to guide your fellowship through familiar areas such as the Mines of Moria, Rivendell, Shelob’s Lair before finally ending in Mordor to destroy the One Ring. This cooperative game will have you working through the major plot points of The Lord of the Rings story/movies. If you have played one of the previous adventure book games, you’ll be right at home here. So have your second breakfast and strap on your dagger as we see how The Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game holds up. But this year brought us the third in the lineup, one based on the beloved Lord of the Rings.

The next offering was one based on The Wizard of Oz (which I haven’t played). Little did I know that it was going to become the start of a series. As a huge fan of the movie, I really enjoyed this one (even if it did have its issues). Back in 2020, Ravensburger Games released a fun little title called The Princess Bride Adventure Book Game.
