I so want this!
I don’t know who would play with me, though. Perhaps if I had to win twice?
As well I’ll love this too:
“That will be 1,500 tin pieces for landing on Cerin Amroth. It has 6 telyn on it.”
“but I have a get-out-of-Udun card!”
The deranged mind of everyone’s favourite ne’er-do-well
ESPECIALLY after you move to PDX. Cuz that’s where my whole family lives (my sister is moving back there from San Jose), and I’m making inroads into peace with my mom’s partner, so more visits should happen in the future.
I’ll play ALL LotR board games – and I have most of them. 🙂
Me me me!
Not against you though, I’d lose.
If you make it Strip Trivial Pursuit, I’m sure there’ll be lots of people who will let you wear their ring 🙂
How many Ruling Queens did Numenor have?
I think both your links are the same….
You’re living on the wrong coast. I have a number of friends (and a husband) who would not only play, but might even give you a decent game.
Damn you.
The only one I can remember is the one whom Ar-Pharazon usurped (as her husband), but there were more before here if I remember correctly, since the rule passed to the first-born — regardless of sex.
Three: Tar-Ancalimë, Tar-Telperiën and Tar-Vanimeldë. As far as I know, Ar-Pharazon was not involved with any of these three.
Full disclosure: when I asked the question I thought there were four. I couldn’t remember all there names, and then I found out that there were only three. Your remark about Ar-Pharazon rang a bell and the story is: Ar-Pharazon married his cousin Miriel, who was supposed to have become Ruling Queen and usurped her throne. She never actually was Ruling Queen.
Hee hee… All that’s missing is the Helm’s Deep Go Fish card deck.
Ah, yes – that’s the one I was thinking of. (I should have looked it up on my .txt copy of the Silmarillion I have for research, but that would be cheating!) hee hee
Fixed it… 🙂
PDX is a good distance, plenty close for a makeshift gaming session. 🙂
Here’s a fun one: kind of a puzzleish question
Who are Ea’s Snow-White and the Seven Dwarves?
I’ll give you the answers.
I’ll visit you in Portland to play it. The loser eats my cooking. Deal?
Deal.
Tell me… I don’t have the time to go dig for it… 🙂
ah,
Varda is referred to as Snow White,
And there were the seven fathers of all dwarves that Aule created…
Grrr. I thought of the Seven Fathers, but couldn’t think of a Snow White to go with that.
