The preciousssss

As I mentioned a little while ago it seems counter intuitive that the publishers of board games have seen certain market segments grow as video games have established themselves.

One title that caught my eye recently is War of the Ring published by Fantasy Flight Games as it tries, successfully I might add, to recreate the story from LoTR in game form. It's big, epic, plays different every time, looks fantastic and captures the essence of Tolkien's Middle Earth.

If you're a LoTR fan and your thumbs need a rest then this as good a cure as any.
