Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game

Another 25th anniversary celebration, another Ravensburger/Warner Brothers project - this time for Ravensburger’s games arm. We were tasked with producing illustration assets for the epic R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy chapter book-style strategy game. Spread over eight chapters – starting in The Shire and ending in the fires of Mordor – it creates an immersive experience, that makes you feel part of the Fellowship. 

The client was looking for a lively, painterly style to enhance the narrative. So once our pencil concepts had approval we painted directly into them, giving an energy and urgency to the box lid, game boards, tokens and challenge cards.This commission followed on from the successful series of  The Lord of the Rings jigsaw puzzles, that we had already illustrated for the US puzzle team – The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Puzzle, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Puzzle and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
