Negative Positive
Title: LOTR Freak
Review: I took some time and read the other reviews for this game. Overall, I tend to agree with the majority of the statements. There is a lack of strategy, often times leaving the players to succomb to the instructions on the card. And when there is an opportunity to deviate from the movie story line, it is decided by a roll of the die. There are attributes given to characters (i.e. speed) that don't do much since the character stops at the next unused ring space, sometimes one or two spaces away.In spite of this, though, I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this game each time I've played. So, I give this 4 stars for fun. I do agree that there is little to no educational value. And the need to construct and de-construct Caradhras (which is slightly stronger than paper) can cause quick wear.In my opinion, this game is great for anyone who wishes to relive the FOTR movie, without having to spend 3 hours watching it.
