Smart10: Lord of the Rings^*

Smart10: Lord of the Rings is the themed edition of the Smart10 trivia game built around the three Lord of the Rings films; in Germany it is published by Piatnik. It plays in about 20 minutes, is rated 12+, and can be played in teams. If you know Smart10 and love the film trilogy, this one asks only about Middle-earth.

What's it about?

The questions cover The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003), including their extended versions. Rules and mechanics follow the familiar Smart10 by Christoph Reiser and Arno Steinwender.

How it plays

As in every Smart10, each question comes with a set of possible answers. Players take turns answering one part at a time and decide whether to continue and risk more points or stop and keep what they have – a wrong answer costs the points of that round.

What makes it special?

The push-your-luck "go on or stop?" turns trivia into a game of risk: you can win without knowing everything if you know when to stop. This edition focuses it entirely on one film series.

Who is it for?

Fans of the film trilogy and quiz groups who already enjoy Smart10 and want a themed set.
