My brother got LotR Risk for Christmas, so we played it before I had to go back to school. I thought it was terrific, even though I missed having Gondor and Mordor on the map and even though my brother ended up destroying me (and I was doing so well in the beginning!). We also have LotR chess and LotR Monopoly (which was one of my Chrsitmas presents). I haven't played that yet but it looks so fun, especially with the little situation cards (in regular Monopoly they have "Chance" and "Community Chest", I think - in LotR Monopoly they have little situations like "Faramir had a change of heart. Get out of jail free").
Then again, everything that has even the remotest LotR theme to it makes me giddy with excitement. So perhaps I'm not the most objective person to ask.
