Description
In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, players embark on a thrilling adventure to find the lost Dwarves in the Hobbit holes of Hobbiton. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, 2 to 4 players can join in on the fun, enjoying a playtime of just 15 minutes. The game is all about memory, strategy, and a bit of luck, as players take turns rolling a special die to move around the board and uncover hidden pieces. As players lift pieces out of the Hobbit holes, they might find a Dwarf, a Hobbit, breakfast, or a mysterious rune. Matching certain pieces can reward them with new opportunities, such as peeking at hidden pieces or stealing a Dwarf from an opponent. The goal is to collect the most Dwarves, and with variant rules that add new challenges and twists, the game offers plenty of replayability and excitement for players of all ages.
