Hakon and Agan, you two seem to be entertaining a somewhat peculiar idea of the Shire, if I may say so. Or perhaps you're thinking of Sharkey's Shire?

Seconded! Legate and I did that a few days ago and we also played the LotR board game and it was very nice, all of it.

How about status updates that instigate long discussions over who loves Lord of the Rings better, and who is the most dedicated Anglophile?

I wish I had a LotR board game.... But it's nice that Downers can get satisfaction and joy out of simple things like that!

If you ever come to Finland we can play it. *nudgenudge*

Make your own.

It'll be a lot more fun than anything you buy at the store...

True, but it's a lot easier to buy a ready made one... projects like that tend to remain unfinished... (*remembers a not so distant plan of a game where players are nazgûls looking for the Ring and can for example meet Tom Bombadil and have tea with him* )

Which one? We've got a few now. I enjoy the trivia based one best because I like quizzes, but the others are pretty good, plus the artwork is rather nice and they're worth having for that alone. The big War of the Ring one cannot go up though now, with The Whirlwind about and lots of little plastic figures and dice he can eat.

Errr, to keep it on topic.......I send Board Games to The Shire!

It has a separate main storyline board and adventure boards (Moria, Helm's Deep, Shelob's Lair and Mordor), you play as a team and the artwork is by John Howe. Does that ring any bells?

And as for assignations, Leonard Cohen belongs to the Shire although I'm not sure if that'd be his favourite place.

That's one we've got too, it's a strange game but once you play, it's great fun. You can get 'expansion packs' for it too, but we've only got the Sauron one so far, the Friends and Foes one is quite hard to find.

The little individual battles games are worth having if you can find them, we've got a 'Balrog Battle' one we bought in a London games shop when we were there for a few days a couple of years ago, and ended up playing that instead of going out
