Toys and Games Reviews of Trivial Pursuit: The Lord of the Rings Movie Trilogy Collector's Edition
Customer Review: for movie fans only
Summary: 3 Stars
It was a fun-enough way to spend an evening, but since the questions were only movie-verse, anyone who has been a fan for more than the past 2 years would be disappointed. $35 was way too much to pay for something that does not bear playing repeatedly, and fans who cared about Tolkein before Orlando Bloom became Legolas (or in the case of many of us, was even born) will feel really cheated.Customer Review: Waaaaay Too Easy
Summary: 1 Stars
One daughter and I played against the other daughter and her husband. We went first and completed the game on the first try. Then they took their turn and also completed the game. The questions are about the movie versions only, and none of us has seen the third movie yet, but the answers were obvious either from the books or from the way the questions were set up.If they ever come out with a Trivial Pursuit based on both the movies and the books--or on the books alone--with questions aimed at those who are very familiar with the material, I would buy it. This version is not something I would recommend for adults or for obsessive fans of any age.
Customer Review: For those fans who love LOTR
Summary: 5 Stars
Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit was gotten as a birthday present for my dad. He is a big fan of the books and movies. He's read the books all at least once for the last 20 years and he is a die-hard fan of the movies.I got the game with high hopes for him knowing he would destroy everybody else in the house. I was correct. He is man handeling us. However, us fans of the movie in the household do a good job of holding our own. We are haveing a lot of fun with it, and it's only making the anticipation of the third movie bigger.
If you love LOTR this game is for you. It's another way to enjoy middle earth. I think all fans would like it and I think fans of triva games would like it if they know anytihng about LOTR. I'm glad a copy of it is in my house.
Customer Review: Not for Tolkien fans
Summary: 3 Stars
This game is solely about the Movie trillogy. The questions are definatly "trivial" for anyone who has read the book more than once, the hardest questions for me where the ones that asked the actors names! Even though it is easy it still is fun & I am sure it will be played often in my home.Customer Review: Yet Another Way to Immerse Yourself in Middle Earth
Summary: 5 Stars
A very nice game, not without its faults (especially if you're a hard-core fan). It only takes a few minutes to learn the categories, obviously, but some of the questions seem to be out of place. There is quite a separation in question difficulty between the "Making Movies" category (which covers the technical aspects of the trilogy) and the other five groups. While this may motivate you to watch the commentaries in FotR and (in a few weeks) TTT more closely, in actual game play this may bias your move decisions somewhat. And as another reviewer remarked, this game really needs a second box of question cards, so hopefully there will be one released soon.Having said all that, this is really an enjoyable way to revel in the movie trilogy. It's very challenging to the casual fan, while between two fanatics, the one who "runs the table" will win the day. The expert rules regarding The One Ring and the Nazgul add some neat chrome, but I think the best way to challenge real experts here is to add the usual house rules, like having to answer two questions correctly for "a piece of pie" and to win the game.
Overall, this is quite a fun way to pass the time, especially if you're planning to stand/sit in line for seats at Trilogy Tuesday. Enjoy!
