The Hobbit: There & Back Again is a competitive, story-driven dice game from Officedog featuring eight replayable adventures: draft dice, chart pathways, manage resources and overcome obstacles on your journey to the Lonely Mountain.
How to play
Everyone opens their dry-erase adventure book to the same chapter. On your turn, draft from six dice (five d6 plus one d12) to create paths, match icons and trigger actions that push you toward the chapter goal. Track progress in your own book, earn and spend tokens, and balance immediate points with long-term scoring. Solo uses the same chapters with target thresholds; with more players it’s a brisk race to craft the best tale.
