Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth Chess Set

Got this for my Son for Christmas. He was really happy when he opened up. The detail of the pieces and board are great. Price was affordable. Definitely worth the purchase!!

I bought this as a birthday present for my brother who is obsessed with LotR. He absolutely loved it.

I just received it today at my door and felt like a kid again opening the box and put ting the pieces on the board! As a fan of Lord of the Rings and chess I think this is a chess set that is very well done and definitely worth the money I paid. It's a beautiful set and the pieces are not small at all. Being able to play chess with it and recognize the various pieces is easy. And having pieces like this will add to your enjoyment of the game of chess as you begin and get into the game itself. Seeing who's threatening and where it's coming from using these figures develops chess into a meaningful fantasy battlefield! Visualizing not an abstract chess piece, but instead characters in Lord of the Rings really increases the excitement of the game. Regarding the Kings and Queens: I like how the designer put Gandalf in the white kind spot with Galadriel at his side. Placing Aragorn there with Arwen would have been an alternate way to design it. Regarding the Dark Side, I get placing Sauron and Saruman in those roles. But if you see the 2 wizards battling head to head (as I do), then place Saruman as the black king, and put Sauron in the black queen spot - matching him with the most powerful position on the dark side. Either way you set it up, it's a beautiful set with nicely sized pieces and worth the money.

Love this! I wanted to learn chess but wanted a fun version. Since im nerdy this is perfect. Seems to have good quality playing pieces. Easy to bring with places. Stores in the box well after games. Easy to learn with. I will eventually like to use model paint and paint them up but gosh so worth the buy as a lord of the rings fan. One of my friends gripped that the board was cheap compared to the playing pieces.

The set came brand new with plastic around it. It looks gorgeous and my partner loves it. I got it as a Christmas present for them. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is because one of the pieces were damaged and were missing a shoulder. Other than that the ste is perfect.

This was heavier than expected but such a lovelt keepsake

Got for my girlfriend for Christmas, she absolutely adored them. Would 100% recommend if you like Lord of the rings and chess.

Well built, detailed pieces, Don loves LOTR and chess, great combo!

Offert en cadeau d’anniversaire à un fan de seigneur des anneaux et en plus de ça aimant jouer aux échec, cadeau parfait. Le détail du jeu est magnifique. Je recommande pour tout amateur d’échec ou seigneur des anneaux, pouvant être une belle pièce de collection également.

Good quality my friend loved this present. Pieces are very detailed also.

Produkt ist genauso wie angegeben und ein absolutes highlight

Det känns billigare än vad det kostade och svärden var alla böjda, spelplanen var trist
