Lord of the Rings – The Board Game
This year’s most anticipated movie is just days away and J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic trilogy will be on everyone’s mind and their wish list too. Famed game designer Reinar Kniza has developed a combination board/card/dice game that allows you relive the experience of Frodo, Sam, and the rest of the Hobbits as they endeavor to destroy the One Ring of Power. This unique gaming experience promotes teamwork and unity while still maintaining individual achievement. Lord of the Rings, the Board Game provides a welcome break from online gaming and a chance to connect with real people for an adventure to Middle Earth... even if only for an hour or so. 2-5 players aged 12 and up. ($39.99).
DVD Movies
The DVD has exploded into the family entertainment centers in the past two years and this year it will grow even more. Soon VHS will be a distant memory like the 8-Track. There are several hot titles that movie fans of most ages would love to add to their collection. Movies like Shrek, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Jurassic Park III are sure to be a big hit under any tree.
