The Hobbit - The Defeat of the Evil Dragon Smaug

In The Hobbit, embark on a great adventure based on J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary novel, The Hobbit. Try to safely navigate your way to the Lonely Mountain and reclaim all the treasure that the evil dragon Smaug is hiding – but beware as the treasure is fiercely guarded and must be won in battle! Will you trade your jewels for adventure points? Can you successfully answer the riddles or recite the songs? Do you have the courage to steal a jewel right from under Smaug's nose?

On this adventure you'll travel through the Edge of the Wild, the Misty Mountains, the Carrock, Mirkwood, Long Lake, and finally confront the Desolation of Smaug. Each terrain will yield magical encounters and valuable treasure. All your wit, luck and skill will be tested. Are you up to the challenge to be crowned King Under the Mountain?

Before the game begins, each player takes a tracking card that records the player’s total number of jewels and adventure points (discussed below). Each player starts with 1 jewel to represent the player’s starting fortune. The adventure points are set to “zero”.

The board is put in the middle of the playing area and the two decks, the Adventure deck and Gandolf’s Gifts deck, are separated, shuffled, and place on the board.  The Lonely Mountain is placed in the middle of the board and Smaug is attached to the top.  A number of jewels are also placed on the mountain representing Smaug’s treasure hoard.

Lastly, each player takes a playing pieces and places it on the starting area labeled “Bag-End, Under-Hill”.  The game is now ready to play.

For 2-6 players. Ages 10 to adult.
