middle earth board game/trivia game

[Varda]

has a middle earth board game ever been made? just curious... also what about a middle earth trivia game? like jeopardy only with middle earth questions.... it could be split into sections according to book.... or according to subject. for instance: tolkien bio facts, family trees, love stories, villains, heroes, etc...... or maybe just by book would be simpler and then another category devoted to info on tolkien's life.... what do you guys think?

i also think it would be neat to have a chess set with tolkien figures..... like the kings could be aragorn, the queens could be arwen, the bishops could be gandalf, the knights could be ummm i dunno who, the rooks could be minas tirith, the pawns could be hobbits.....

I remember seeing that chess set in a SFBC magazine. Ohhhhh, how I want that set. I'd never use it, as they'd be too precious to me, but still...
