Lord of the Rings Risk

Picking up from the thread below the new Green Day single review - the new (ish) LOTR version of Risk is great! Anyone else played it?

Re: Lord of the Rings Risk

that is quite possibly the geekiest thing i have ever heard of.

i can't get involved with anything that is unironic about the name "Bilbo". Plus my nickname last year was Frodo due to my mop. *grrr*

  Geeky but surprisingly fun. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

    Oh...YES. Kick-ass game.
    
    My mate just ordered the Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition Risk (oo err) from a far off land called America.
    
    Wanna play it....NOW.
    
    Any other LOTR risk lovers?

      Hmm, think we're on our own. This thread hasn't exactly taken off, has it?

        There is an old board game called Risk in which you have to conquer to the world. I would imagine that LOTR risk is similair except instead of being the red army etc you are Dwarves and Elves etc.

        As fullerov says, it's a board game where you have to take over the world. In the normal version of Risk you just have to conquer as much of the board as you can, or in a new-ish update each player gets a mission like 'Take over 3 continents'.
        
        The Lord of the Rings game involves the same basic idea but the map is of Middle Earth (the land from LOTR) not the real Earth and you have various mission cards that involve you getting extra points if you control certain territories, or different events from the LOTR books/films.
        
        There, you can't wait to play it now, I bet.

        Hey sweety girly honey thing babe person - you never played risk before??
        
        I didn't think it was *that* nerdy. Certainly not as nerdy as Warhammer, surely?!? (which I've thankfully never played).

        Do a lot of people use the word "Nice" in an almost derogatory term to describe you?

        Tried twice to play Risk with friends.
        Get bored 2 times before the end of the game.
