Fun LOTR game to play with kids

Jon S. · 08-13-2008, 10:12 PM

I play this game with my kids (13 and 10): LOTR X versus Y. It goes like this:

The first person says, "[LOTR character] versus [anyone else in the world]?"

Then the others say who would kick whose ass.

For example, "Balrog versus The Hulk?" Or, "Boromir versus John Cena?"

Yeah, I know it sounds ridiculous but the kids love it and it's a fun way to make long boring drives more fun!

Or you ask "[LOTR character] versus [LOTR character]: who would kick whose ass?"
And get eleven pages long thread on any Tolkien forum.

Possibly including a flame war

Exactly. I have just read the Witch-King versus the Balrog on Barrow-Downs.

Especially if you do '[LOTR character] versus [Silm character]' - there's a whole bunch more to fight about in there

Ungoliant versus Spiderman?

Gordis · 08-14-2008, 03:53 PM

Gandy vs Luthien?

I'll take Ungoliant and Luthien.

Luthien was only a half-Maia and Gandy was a 100% Maia! That means... blah-blah-blah.

No, I am not young enough to argue about such a question seriously!

Ah, now you see the true wasting time amusingly power of this simple game.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 08-22-2008, 12:11 PM

Power, schmower. The Dread Pirate Roberts is the most fearsome rogue on the high seas and even I have never won a fight with a woman. Luthien OWNS Gandalf.

Gordis · 08-22-2008, 04:37 PM

Hmm....

How about Eowyn vs Gandalf then?

Gordis · 08-28-2008, 02:45 PM

Look: The Witch-King fighting the Balrog!

Go, Witchy!

Sauron never sleeps! uh... Maybe Tom Bombadil could sing Sauron some nursery rhymes and sing red eye to sleep like he did old man willow. Look what happened to the barrow wight?

Snores from Mordor!
