Now, the LotR edition has some additional rules. The One Ring (to rule them all) starts off in Bag End. One of the dice has an "Eye of Sauron" instead of a 6. Whenever this is rolled, the One Ring moves to the next property/station/utility on the board. (I.e. it jumps jail, free parking, taxes, etc.) You carry out your move as usual.
If you land on a space with the ring on, then if that property is unowned, you get it for free. If it's owned by someone else, you pay double the normal rent.
Once the ring reaches Mount Doom, the game ends, and you tally up who wins as usual for the short game rules.

And the terms are different - stations are horses, pounds are power, chance and community chest are people and events... But that's pretty easy to pick up.

So, everyone gets £1,500, and we're off! I'll have to roll for you. (I won't cheat!) Play order will be signing up order, viz.

Gimli - Ransom £1,500
Aragorn - Steel Samurai £1,500
Gandalf - Veteran £1,500
Legolas - Jaina £1,500
Frodo - CID Farwin £1,500
Galadriel - D~N £1,500
1921 penny - Showsni £1,500

Ransom rolls a five and a two = seven. That's a People card.
"Sauron summons you. Advance token to Mount Doom." Mount Doom costs £400. Do you wish to buy it?

[Ransom]

hellz yes.

Of course you do. Mayfair = good.

Is that a sword in Aragorn's pocket or is he just pleased to see us?

[CID Farwin]

Darn you, Vet! you beat me to the joke!

Of course I would have said something regarding sword dysfunction.

[Steel Samurai]

Yes. I'll take it.

May as well, I can always pawn it to SS should he want to build on Weathertop. Deal.

[Showsni]

And Jaina rolls - five and three, eight. Do you want to buy Bree, and entirely split the blue set? It costs £100.

Leave it to Jaina to prolong the game...

[Jaina]

[Showsni]

CID Farwin rolls... double five! Just visiting... And roll again for the double. And... double three. The Mines of Moria cost £180 - do you wish to buy? And you'll get another roll after your decision.

Yes to the buy.

[Showsni]

Somehow I thought you'd say that.

Anyway, D~N is Galadriel. He/She rolls... six and one, seven. Meaning you draw a People card.

"Gandalf councils you to prepare for war. For each stronghold lose £25, for each fortress lose £100."

I.e. nothing.

My turn. I roll double one. Events card...

"The shards of Narsil are reforged. Gain £100."

And reroll for the double. Double three - Bree. I pay Jaina £6 and roll again. One and six, but the six is the Eye of Sauron. The ring moves to Farmer Maggot's, I move to Asfaloth and buy it (him) for £200.

You can bet your Balrogs I want Gandalf's Staff. Cos I'm Gandalf and I hit people with my staff.




Btw, anal of me I know but I notice you're paying out rent even though the owner is present on his/her own property. I'm happy this is the case though, as I'm up 6 quid.

[Showsni]

That must be a house rule, because in normal monopoly you can only fail to collect rent if the property's mortgaged, or the owner forgets to ask for it until the next player's rolled.

Jaina rolls four and one = five. Rivendell can be yours for the low price of £140. Do you wish to purchase Elrond's abode?

Blimey, I've been lied to all these years! I also thought you couldn't collect rent when in jail.

I shall confront my parents about this scandal.

[Jaina]

:3 yes I will buy

[Showsni]

The property is yours, then.

CID Farwin gets six and five, eleven. Go to Jail. You can keep Steel Samurai company.

And back to D~N - double four. That's my horse, so you pay me £25, and roll again. Double three - six. The Gap of Rohan. Do you wish to buy? It's £220, and you've got another go afterwards.
