The Fellowship of the Ring is a 1983 board game published by Iron Crown Enterprises.

Gameplay

The Fellowship of the Ring is a game based on The Lord of the Rings covering the period from the flight of the hobbits from the shire to the approach of the Fellowship to Mordor.[1]

Reception

Rick Swan reviewed Fellowship of the Ring in Space Gamer No. 71.[1] Swan commented that "A solitaire system allowing the Fellowship to find its way across the land, making discoveries and encountering resistance along the way, might be a better way to capture the adventurous feel of the books. [...] In any case, in spite of the best intentions, Fellowship of the Ring is little more than a nice try."[1]
