It goes for 300 euros here. A lot of money. But my will is weak when it comes to games...
I'll tell my wife it's only 30 euros.

She'll find out.
We played a campaign with the LOTR Risk game once, with points values assigned to the pieces. You could either do a 'quick fight' with the Risk rules or build an army for your faction with the points value of the pieces involved. It was loads of fun, and some of the lopsided battles had interesting outcomes.

The concept sounds alot like "Mighty Empires" from Games Workshop in the nineties, ever play it.

Yup, and though it wasn't my idea I'm pretty sure that's where they got it from as well.

Sound concept and adds something to the same old game.

You know how 'misery' loves company  I'm blaming my girlfriend who has read all of Tolkien's books and loves the movies and has wanted to play the game. So, I threw my credit card into Mt. Doom just like you did.  |

I always tell my wife that i'm a game collector (i own 100+) and that in X years this X game will be worth That amount.
then came along a good friend who told me: "you're never gonna sell this games"...
I was speechless.
