LOTR Monopoly

[Stormrider]

Desi got the LOTR Monopoly game and we played one game this weekend. I had the worst luck, the dice rolls were not in my favor. I did buy some properties however, I couldn't get the whole neighborhoods so I could put forts on them. Other players were able to buy those before I got to them. The Quest cards were not in my favor either. *sigh*

Marcia (Desi) and Quenten did the best at the game. Scott, Mike, and I hung in there for a while but we ended up bankrupt. So it was interesting watching Marcia and Quenten go at it! Quenten is pretty smart and had some great strategies and he won out in the end. Marcia thought she was going to win Quenten's Gates of Mordor and Bar a Dur with a quest card that could have taken them completely away from Quenten, but he had won my quest card that I was holding when he bankrupted me and it said that it nulled anyone's quest card against him!!! It was pretty funny, Marcia really thought she was going to get a really good deal and it backfired on her!

It was very fun. But we couldn't use The Ring because we thought we needed a Quest card. We missed how to get it going in the directions. And it was so simple! Highest dice throw gets it! You become invisible while moving around the board and won't need to pay rent! I sure could have used that! Then if you roll an Eye of Saueon, you lose it. Also the closer you get to Mordor it gets dangerous if you are wearing it.

Hopefully we can play it again correctly and learn all the game play that involves The Ring!
