PLAYED FOR YOU

Der Kleine Hobbit

Misty MOuntains and MIrkwood

„The Hobbit“ was written by Tolkien as a book for children and tells the story before the events describes in "The Lord of the Rings" - Hobbit Bilbo Beutlin undertakes a journey across Middle Earth, full of adventures, in the company of twelve dwarves and of Gandalf - purpose of the journey is to defeat Smaug the Dragon und to win back the Dragon Hoard he stole and with it the ancient Dwarf Kingdom.

Players must fight their way through Misty Mountains and Mirkwood to reach Smaug the Dragon. The active player rolls dice and moves his hobbit accordingly. If you enter a spot actively, that is, as active player and by implementing a dice roll, the symbol is put into effect. If you are sent to a spot due to failure or due to an action card, a symbol is ignored. On a Gandalf spot you draw a card. On a spot showing a shield you must master an adventure, assisted by Gandalf cards or by turning the spinner, based on a mechanism similar to Rock-Paper-Scissors. You name water, for instance and the spinner must show sword, because water defeats the sword because it rusts. Treasure spots give you gems, and Master Thief allows you to try to steal from Smaug. Stealing from Smaug and mastered adventures bring you gems. Those gems and also adventure points are necessary to fight Smaug. When Smaug is defeated you get 5 points for fighting him and win with the highest total from adventures and gems.

This is a game for families or for older children, just as the book of the same name; the mechanisms and the riddles are simple, and the beautiful components let you enter into the flair of the game.
