Tengwar Scrabble. Heh. Indeed...

How about Palantir Ker-Plunk? The clear plastic tower thingy is made to resemble Orthanc, and the little multi-coloured sticks are crafted to resemble staffs. Of course, each of the marbles will be a little mini Palantir. Some artistic licence will be needed as there will need to be many more of them than in the book or they won't make such as satisfying crash as they tumble down and roll across the dining room table.

I would also like to see Buck-A-Bill. This game is based around a plastic pony onto which you must pile all kinds of stuff like Sam's frying pans, sleeping rolls, Hobbits and apples (in homage to Bill Ferny himself). Once poor Bill gets too heavily laden the whole shebang backfires and lots of bits of plastic hit your brother in the face...
