Sillmarilion the game

I'm making a board game with silmarillion characters, places, races and creatures. I need some ideas of how it should work and details of the game. Any advice would be very appriciated.


Gil Galad.

Excellent idea.


Perhaps you could do a kind monopoly game where there are two sides, good and evil and a player must choose which side they start as and can only by evil properties if they are evil and vise versa. Then if someone on an evil side lands on a good property which has been bought then they must pay a randsom of there gold as release fee...

that could work...
you could also pair them up into areas
I know Monopoly has 8 areas, so this should as well
maybe Rohan, Gondor, Mordor, Elvish territories, Dwarvish territories, territories of the Easterlings, the SHire and Isengard
Isengard - Orthanc, Angrenost
Rohan - Edoras, Helm's Deep, Dunharrow
Gondor - Minas Tirith, Osgiliath, Pelargir
Mordor - Barad-dur, Minas Ithil, Isenmouthe
Elves - Rivendell, Caras Galadhon, Halls of the Wood-Elves
Dwarves - Moria, Erebor, Iron Hills
Easterlings- Harad, Khand, Rhun
Shire - Hobbiton, Michel Delving

And I guess instead of the railways you could take the roads like the old dwarf road, the nroth-south road, the Morgul road and the Harad road

and as facilities you could take...I dunno, Mithril Mines and Longbottom Leaf

and you could use gold coins instead of $

anyway, if anyone has ideas please to edit what I said

TM, I'm making a Silmarillion game. Its just that you sound like your talking about LoTR.


I originally thought about making it a monopaly stile game. I've made a few of these already. But, when I tried this I found that there were not enough spaces for what I want. Plus, I wanted to add more than places. I loved all of the characters and creature/races in Sil, and I didn't want to skip out on them.


Any other ideas other than the monopaly (I might do this anyway but I like to have a few options).

You could make it like the Parker Bros. "Life" game. Starting with Ainulindale, with the object to be the first to enter the War of Wrath.

Just a thought.

Found out what life is, sux!


I want to make something completely new. I had thought to actually make cards that included the weapons, people, and races. and the board can include the places.


Maybe you have to defeat different armies played by diferent players. in diferent realms of Belriand, Valinor, and middle-earth.


This is an extremaly large game! But think of the fun you will have in playing with an army of elves lead by Fingolifin, or Earndil, or Turgon. Or an army of men lead by Turin or any other great man of the first age. To defeat the armies of morgoth lead by another player. Or visa-versa. This will be a very kewl game as soon as it is out!!!


All I need is answers and ideas of great tolkien fanatics!


Please help me make this game to be great, and not just another joke!!!


Gil Galad.

I don't know if you know or not, but there is a Lord of the Rings Risk game.  I have thought often of trying to make something with the 1st age like it.  I have an excellent map, but i wanted to put more rules into the game to make it more interesting.  As far as ideas, maybe pull some ideas from other games and then incorportate them into a new one.  You could take for instance the game Axis and allies, incorporate it with maybe risk and stratego.  Just some thoughts, but i like the idea and when and if you ever get it done, i would love to take a look at it.
