Lord of the Rings Online News - Swig and Toss on UnlocktheMinesofMoria

Posted by Keith Cross on May 08, 2008  | 0 comments in our forums

Turbine has announced the launch of a new game on unlocktheminesofmoria.com called Swig and Toss.  Players can now unlock content on the site by flinging axes at a target and knocking back some dwarven brew.

Turbine, Inc. and Codemasters Online today announced the launch of Swig and Toss, the second mini-game on www.unlocktheminesofmoria.com . Registered participants can challenge themselves and their friends to earn special deeds that unlock unique rewards including exclusive videos, images, and in-game items that will aid them on their journey when The Lord of the Rings Online™: Mines of Moria launches this fall.

Swig and Toss is an axe throwing competition with a bit of drinking and wagering to make things more interesting! In this 10-round game, players try to keep a steady aim while attempting to hit a target with their axe. Hit the mark and win! Miss and hear the Dwarves around you scoff at your lack of skill.

Between rounds, players can take a few swigs from their mug to help quench their thirst. This will help boost their confidence and loosen their pocket strings, increasing the amount they can wager.

Swig and Toss is available today at www.unlocktheminesofmoria.com . Registration is free!
