As for the characters, each one is a well-detailed and accurate depiction of the actors you saw in the films. Other decorations on the board include a map of middle earth, carved out on the playing surface. The map has the effect of achieving the look of a great display piece.When it comes to the pieces, the makers use resin to create a level of detail that is hard to achieve with most materials.

It is nothing short of a work of art that shows in detail, the journey that was undertaken by Frodo and his friends, the enemies he meets and his ultimate destination at Mordor, to destroy the One Ring.

At some point, someone was going to have a brilliant idea to combine the game and the love that fans have for the story. Around the perimeter, you will see niches carved out where you can place the pieces after you are playing. It is quite an impressive set.
