About this game

Game description from the publisher: In Der Hobbit: Eine unerwartete Reise - Das Spiel zum Film, each player will set off with his two dwarfs on a shared, yet perilous journey with the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. Along the way, they will encounter trolls, dangerous orcs, voracious wights, vicious spiders, and – if they're lucky – the wizard Gandalf, who will lend his support. In the Misty Mountains, Bilbo will find the One Ring, with which he must defy many hidden dangers. Should the players make it through Mirkwood, they all win together.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
