‘Queer things you do hear these days, to be sure,’ said Sam. ‘Ah,’ said Ted, ‘you do, if you listen. But I can hear fireside-tales and children’s stories at home, if I want to.’ ‘No doubt you can,’ retorted Sam, ‘and I daresay there’s more truth in some of them than you reckon. Who invented the stories anyway?’
The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien


Players are Hobbits telling tales in front of a mug of beer at their favourite inn in the Shire. Silent woods and remote mountains, Elves, Goblins and Giants populate their stories...

During the game, players take turns as the Narrator and improvise a story using a hand of illustrated cards. The other players try to twist the tale, playing hazards and fearsome monsters. Drinks are served, smoke-rings are blown, and the best narrator is cheered by everyone present.

Hobbit Tales is a game for 2 to 5 Hobbits, authored by the award-winning designers Marco Maggi and Francesco Nepitello, creators of the Tolkien-themed War of the Ring strategy game and The One Ring role-playing game.

This game contains a set of rules, 1 board, 75 Adventure cards, 40 Hazard cards, 5 coasters, a set of cardboard tokens and a twelve-sided The One Ring Feat die.

Includes rules to use Hobbit Tales in conjunction with the The One Ring, Cubicle 7’s role-playing game set in Tolkien’s Middle-earth.

Retail release November 2013

Wow ! Hope it will be translated in french ! I like the idea.

Jon, you sure know how to make my day. Consider another one of your products sold!

Hmm... I notice in the list of components there are coasters!

That implies the imbibing of beverages!

Sigh! Guess that means more money leaving my pocket!

Includes rules to use Hobbit Tales in conjunction with the The One Ring.

Wow! I need this! NOW!

War of the Ring and The One Ring are such amazing games. I'm waiting for Battle of the Five Armies boardgame too, and now this. My wallet shakes!

Wow I feel overwhelmed by the release of Heart of Wild and the news of this game.

I am not sure what do you mean by "Includes rules to use Hobbit Tales in conjunction with the The One Ring."

Like a mini game in the TOR game for the characters to play?

We'll have plenty more information about all the ins and out and ups and downs as we draw closer to release. It's great to hear everyone is so enthused. It's a great game!

Must. Have. Now.

Need any play testers?

This looks very good. Very curious about how it links with The One Ring.

Good news is like buses around here (as in you wait for news and then loads of good news hits you all at once )

Looks lovely, so yes, I will be purchasing this hehe.

Oh and for the coaster question, wouldn't it just be great to have this plonked on your coaster...



A Smaug stein from Travencraft.

Alas, I don't they deliver these to the UK. There were definitely more variations on the Smaug the Magnificent stein last time I looked on there as well, cheaper than the main one.
