The Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Board Game Unboxing & Review (2023) Ravensburger

Here is a really fun board game that I bought from Waterstones the other day featuring JRR Tolkien Lord of the Rings books with Hobbits and other character. This is a bit of an unboxing and review, plus you will see images of all this, along with some of the paints you can buy too.
I am a great fan of Lord of the Rings along with a lot of the fantasy boardgames such as Dark Souls, Dungeons & Dragons, Heroquest and zombie games & TV series such as The Walking Dead. So this is a great combination of all of these genres. I hope you enjoy and I will look to feature some of my other painted sets in the future, although the channel is primarily dedicated to breakfast cereals
Whilst it is a bit of an unboxing and review, the main purpose is to feature the painted figures.

That will be a big effort for me to watch as I haven’t seen The Princess Bride, yet.
