Hobbit board game - an unexpected journey review:)

We bought it on Comic Con. We're huge Tolkien fans, so we could not pass by this bright box with Bilbo:

I expected more, to be honest:) The best thing about the game is the print quality - really high. But the rules and the gameplay are really boring. It was enough to play only once to know everything from the begnning to end. The game took us about two hours, which is kind of reakky fast.

The gaming field looks truthly awesome, that's an advantage. But it's really small:

But as I already said the quality is really high. Some phragments of the field:

See, it has only two knots. So - it passes quickly.

The rules fit in two pages. Remember the rules book for Magic the gathering, for examle? So, nothing similar. One tiny sheet of paper:

It also has two sets of cards, heroes and villians:

So, what can I say... I think that I should throw away the original rules and transform it to something like DnD - and then it will be OK:) Cause the original gameplay is really poor. But with game master and a plot it can be wonderful:) May be I'll really do it later:)

Thank you for watching:)

Love, Inber
