Natalie's Review "Our family loves this gorgeous game! Our youngest picked it up really quickly. Well, sort of! They spend most of the game procuring and hoarding bread, which, despite being a very important activity in their eyes, isn't actually the aim of the game. So, while they never quite manage to win, they're still having a brilliant time. The rest of us tend to play a little more strategically, which makes for some lovely family competition. There are eight different adventures to play, taking you from Bag End all the way to the Lonely Mountain. Thanks to the wipeable… pens, you can replay each adventure again and again. A really lovely game that the whole family can enjoy together!" _______________________________________________________________________________ The Hobbit: There & Back Again The Hobbit: There & Back Again is a competitive adventure board game inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved story, The Hobbit. Designed by award-winning game designer Dr. Reiner Knizia, the game challenges players to follow Bilbo Baggins and the Dwarves on their journey through Middle-earth. Players take turns drafting dice to create pathways, gather resources and perform actions to complete the objectives of each chapter. Across eight iconic adventures, players will face dangers such as Trolls, Goblins, Wargs, Giant Spiders and, ultimately, the fearsome dragon Smaug. Each player uses their own adventure book, featuring dry-erase pages that allow them to map their journey and track their progress as the story unfolds. With unique goals and challenges in every chapter, players must carefully plan their moves, manage their resources and outsmart their opponents to earn the most points. Easy to learn but offering plenty of strategic depth, The Hobbit: There & Back Again is an exciting adventure for both younger players and experienced board gamers. With solo play and adjustable difficulty options, it offers a memorable journey for a wide range of players. Will you help Bilbo and the Dwarves overcome the challenges ahead and make it there and back again?
