I created a board game based on the wonderful and magical book series The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. This board game relates to these series because it has the iconic characters and locations from Middle Earth. There is a split path to choose between the 2, each with every location in the correct order. The cards and locations also use images from official The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit video games, artwork, and of course the movies

When I first started thinking about this project, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are massive quests and battles against mythical creatures. So I decided to combine Candy land and Pokemon into one game based on the famous series by J.R.R. Tolkien

The best example of a technical precedent I can think of is the tutorial on Pokecardmaker.com (which is the website I used for the cards)

Here are some sketches for the board game (yes I know Mirkwood is in the wrong spot)

Here are 6 of the cards

Here is the set piece for Gandalf
