Heres some news from the Shop section of the site:

Reiner Knizia, a titan in the German board game design industry, has designed a "Lord of the Rings"-themed game. The game was recently announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany. Available details are limited: The game will play on four boards, each corresponding to a location in Middle Earth where the story's action takes place. Chris Lawson, a friend of Knizia's who is often involved in the play-testing of his games, announced on rec.games.board: "Like the film that is currently in the making, it is going to be very dependent on personal taste. We all have our own preconceived ideas, and 'Lord of the Rings' is no exception. But (places 'smug' hat firmly on head) having play-tested the game a lot, I think it does retain the theme and will keep the fans happy."
