The Hobbit Card Game

Two teams face off as competing character crews in a trick-taking contest where winners of each trick redistribute the cards to characters according to individual abilities. Characters have alignments and special powers that affect play: assigning cards with opposing symbols deals damage, matching symbols can heal damaged allies, and some icons grant extra draws. Players collect, assign, heal, and damage using the cards they win to eliminate opposing characters. Rounds end when hands are empty and eliminations are checked; the game continues or ends based on how many characters on each side survive.

Needed a team based filler game. This one is pretty good for a basic trick taking game. This is in our camping box.
