Sophisticated Games is a UK based developer of board games best known for its series of Lord of the Rings games which were based directly on J. R. R. Tolkien's books rather than the movies. It started up in 1998 in Cambridge, UK.
It is also the originator of the abstract game Ingenious, also known as Einfach Genial in Germany. This was the game that was runner up in the 2004 Spiel des Jahres and much encouraged the subsequent trend towards abstract games in Germany.
Reiner Knizia is the author of these and many other of Sophisticated Games' publications, and the company also used top artists such as John Howe and Ted Nasmith in its Lord of the Rings games.
