The Hobbit: There and Back Again

Step into the boots of Bilbo Baggins and experience the legendary journey from the Shire to the Lonely Mountain in The Hobbit: There and Back Again. Designed by the world-renowned game creator Reiner Knizia, this competitive, story-driven dice game invites you to create your own adventure across Middle-earth. Whether you are navigating the comforts of Bag End or facing the perils of the dragon's lair, you will encounter eight unique and highly replayable adventures that capture the essence of J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved classic.

The core of the game utilises a tactical dice drafting mechanic that demands careful planning and quick thinking. Using a combination of five six-sided dice and one twelve-sided die, players must collect essential resources and overcome daunting obstacles to progress. Every roll offers new choices: do you focus on gathering supplies for the long road ahead, or do you take a risk to bypass the many foes lurking in the shadows? This strategic depth ensures that every trek to the Lonely Mountain feels fresh and challenging, rewarding players who can best manage their luck and their inventory.

The Hobbit: There and Back Again is designed for both solo explorers and groups of up to four players. The game is highly interactive and features individualised player books and dry-erase markers, allowing you to track your progress through the shifting narrative. With eighty tokens and various high-quality components included, the game provides a tangible sense of progression as you mark your path on the map.
