The Hobbit: The Defeat of Smaug
Multiplayer roll-and-move adventure to reach the Lonely Mountain and reclaim treasure from a guarding dragon. Players travel through varied locations—Edge of the Wild, Misty Mountains, Mirkwood, Long Lake—resolving encounters, collecting items, allies and gems, and earning adventure points by trading or completing challenges. Gameplay mixes dice movement, card-driven encounters (riddles, songs, special events) and tactical choices when attempting to steal treasure from the dragon or face battles for loot.
