The Hobbit: There and Back Again lets you relive Bilbo's famous journey, but this time you decide how the adventure unfolds.
With 1 to 4 players you build your way to the Lonely Mountain step by step, hoping to win back the Dwarves' treasure and survive Smaug.
Each round you roll the dice and carefully choose which paths to follow. Avoid hungry Trolls, brave dark Goblins, answer puzzling riddles and work on your personal adventure guide. The better your choices, the richer your story grows, and the closer you get to victory.
The mix of dice selection, light tactics and familiar themes makes this an accessible game for Tolkien fans and for families who love adventure. Short turns, clear icons and a dry-erase booklet for each player mean every journey plays out differently and always invites just one more game.

Players see this differently. Some feel the solo mode falls a bit flat, because the rounds run out before you reach the main goal, while others call it a nice puzzle of efficient planning and do get all the dwarves home by playing with focus. Most people enjoy the game most with two.
Players experience the solo mode very differently: some find it thin, because you mostly try to beat your own score without a clear yardstick. Others enjoy it and see it as a different game from the multiplayer version. An unofficial solo Automa is being worked on too, so there may be more flavour to come.
Solo players say the maximum score is basically out of reach on most maps, because the time track sets the pace and you constantly have to choose. So it is mainly about making the best of what the dice give you. One player also points out that you earn 20 bonus points if you reach the goal before time runs out.
