A handful of fun Lord of the Rings board games are on sale at Amazon as part of
its Black Friday sale
. Most of these are Amazon Lightning Deals, meaning they’re only available while supplies last. You can save between 15% and 30%, depending on the game you pick, and they vary in play style from hours-long campaign style games to shorter sessions for a quick game night.
The Lord of the Rings Board Games On Sale For Black Friday
Risk: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition is a classic with an iconic skin. This version of the popular board game comes with maps of Middle-Earth locations like Gondor, Mordor, and more, making you feel like you’re actually doing battle with hordes of orcs. There’s also The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-Earth card game and the Spreading War Expansion, two very in-depth campaign games that’ll definitely make you lose a few hours.
For a little quicker and lighter, the Duel For Middle-Earth strategy game has players choose between the Fellowship or Sauron in an epic battle that only takes about 30 minutes to complete. In
our hands-on review of the game
, we said “Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-Earth deserves to be lauded for presenting such an exciting and varied game off the back of such an accessible setup.”
I’d also recommend the
Fellowship of the Ring Trick-Taking game we reviewed
earlier this year. This roughly 20-minute experience takes you through the story of the first book, using cards to either progress or avoid peril. In our hands-on review we mentioned “Its simple rules and working together gameplay make it great for families, but its twists on the trick-taking formula and storytelling beats make it deserve a much wider audience.”
Whichever game you decide to try out, it will offer plenty of replayability for dozens of hours of board gaming.
