Toys and Games Reviews of Trivial Pursuit: The Lord of the Rings Movie Trilogy Collector's Edition
Customer Review: This Should Have Been Called a "Junior Edition"
Summary: 2 Stars
This game may be fun for the casual fan or family who viewed the films. For a devoted fan of the movies, the only challenging category is the one directly concerned with the technical aspects of making the films. Otherwise, it's strictly junior league. I hope the company will consider a real "Tolkien" edition, from Silmarillion to Lord of the Rings, to give the real fans a challenge. While I realize the game may serve to bring friends together, fans of the movies will quickly find their boredom meter pegged; the game does not have lasting potential for repeated playing.Customer Review: A fun way to spend the afternoon...

I bought this for myself just before Christmas, and my sister and I have had endless fun playing together. Being supernerds, we often have problems finding others who want to play, but we find it challenging enough that we're okay with that. This can be played traditionally as a simple test of knowledge, or with the extended rules for the advanced players. The extended rules really help to challenge Lord of the Rings trivia buffs. I'd recommend this for anyone who enjoys the movies no matter what their level of play. I've even learned a few things while playing.Customer Review: was okay

This game is okay, and can be challenging...if you haven't seen the movies more than twice. It's fun, but in order to make it more challenging, when playing, my family and I made it so you had to answer 2 or 3 questions correctly in order to get a piece of pie, or to roll again. There aren't really any medium questions, they all seem to be extremely easy, or difficult (set designers and such.) It's not bad if you're a fan of the movies, but if you're a fan of the books, there are other games that offer more of a challenge.Customer Review: Great Fun!!!

Just received this game and played last night with my husband. The board and the pieces are beautiful, though I was a little disappointed that there wasn't a Legolas piece in with the rest. :) As mentioned, only one box of cards came with the game, I was expecting two boxes. I am fairly "middle of the road" in my LOTR knowledge, I've obcessively watched the movies and the documentaries, and skimmed the books. I could see this game being MUCH too easy for the more hard core fans, but overall, I give it a definate thumbs up!Customer Review: Tolkien trivia galore
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this one for Christmas. I have played it with family and friends. There is a nice balance of trivia between the books and the movies. I tend to dominate in book references, but really stink when it comes to the behind the scenes and actor references.Game play is pretty much identical to the original Trivial Pursuit game. The nice part about this game is that even kids can play it... I have played with kids as young as 9 and they have been able to answer quite a few of the questions.
