This listing is for the deluxe “Limited Edition” of the “Lord of the Rings” game. The game contains the copyright 2000, Sophisticated Games Ltd., The Barn, Newton Road, Little Shelford, Cambridge and copyright 2000 - Tolkien Enterprises.

This listing is for game number 22/500 plus the print which is number 579/750.
Please note: the photos actually show 24/500 & 578/750. This photo is from one of my previous listings. I did not take new photos for this listing.

Text on front (you may not be able to read this on the scanned image):
In addition to all the normal playing items, the Limited Edition contains:

  • 22 carat gold plated ring with Sterling silver core

  • Specially cast metal Hobbit playing pieces

  • A John Howe original print, signed and numbered

    • Print run guaranteed to be only 500 copies in English and 250 in German.

    The photograph at the top of this listing shows the box as a whole - a cardboard covering. On the left hand side is a cardboard tube containing the signed print. The right hand side shows a paste on photograph that is signed by John Howe - the artist and Reiner Knizia - the designer. The actual game box is inside the brown cardboard covering. The game is in “new” condition. It has never been used and was only taken out of the box for these photographs.


    This is a close up photograph of the signed print on the cardboard outer covering. It is signed by both Howe and Knizia in a “silver tone” pen.


    This is the special ring in a velvet pouch.

    Excerpt - the back of the box:
    Experience a journey through J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic novel!

    Your task is to stop the Dark Lord Sauron from winning back a magic ring, which Frodo Baggins has inherited, and which Sauron will use to forever enslave the land. Journey through Middle Earth, taking on the challenges of four of the most hazardous regions of the land - Moria, Helm’s Deep, Shelob’s Lair and Mordor - to destroy the ring in the volcanic fires of Mount Doom. Join Frodo and the Fellowship on their perilous adventure across Middle Earth, and use your skill and fortune to guide you.

    Created by master designer Reiner Knizia, this innovative game follows the book closely, and is fully illustrated by celebrated Tolkien artist John Howe. Help guide the Fellowship past Sauron’s wickedness and save Middle Earth from darkness!

    Immerse yourself in the world of Lord of the Rings!
