Lord of the Board Games

Okay, how nice are these?

Lord of the Rings backgammon sets! The playing surface has a map of Middle Earth on it and the playing pieces consist of thirty die-cast versions of the One Ring in silver and gold. It all comes in a lovely wooden case with the Lord of the Rings logo impressed into the wood, with a neat little metal handle and clasp. Perhaps not to everyone’s taste, but it is unusual and very attractive; they’re just arriving in stores so have a look. Of course, now I need to learn to play backgammon…
