Challenge: LOTR game

Another example of the FRBRization of something in the Lord of the Rings bibliographic universe: a game.

  • Work: The Fellowship of the Ring, a game from Iron Crown Enterprises.
  • Expression: The original version of the game.
  • Manifestation: The original 1983 boxed set including a map, cards, counters, instructions, etc. “Stock #FR-7100.”
  • Item: My copy, which I’ve owned for over twenty years and never played.
  • Relations: “The Fellowship of the Ring (FOTR) is a game based upon J.R.R. Tolkien’s three-volume epic, The Lord of the Rings, with the focus on the action in the first volume, The Fellowship of the Ring.” So an inspired-by relation to the trilogy as a whole and a special one to the first book.
