Based on the novels by J.R.R. Tolkien, these games give players the chance to experience places and characters from the books. Each game plays a little bit differently. The Hobbit: Defeat of Smaug challenges up to six players to reclaim their lost treasure from the evil dragon Smaug. The board game path loops through six different regions, including the Edge of the Wild, Misty Mountains, Mirkwood, etc. The game ends when the players reach Smaug's hideout under the Lonely Mountain and attempt to defeat the dragon. Through each of the six regions, players attempt to answer riddles, sing songs, encounter mystical secrets and find hidden treasures. In Battle for Middle-Earth, 2-4 players form groups of companions like Frodo, Pippin, Aragorn, Legolas and others and send them into battle against the armies of Mordor. The player that defeats the most enemies wins the game! Journey to Mordor is a dice-rolling game for 2-4 players (or hobbits). The hobbits must make decisions with each roll of the dice, competing to be the first to climb Mount Doom and destroy the ring!
