The Defeat of the Evil Dragon Smaug Try to safely navigate your way to the Lonely Mountain and reclaim all the treasure that the evil dragon Smaug is hiding... but beware the treasure is fiercely guarded and must be won in battle! Will you trade your jewels for adventure points? Can you successfully answer the riddles or recite the songs? Do you have the courage to steal a jewel right from under Smaug's nose?
Good gameReviewed by Mom of Three, 2009-08-02
My 9 and 7 year old sons love this game. At first glance it looked like it was going to be too complex but it ended up being quick to learn. It's not incredibly long so it doesn't last too long where a kid gets bored with it. the game pieces/board are well made. The kids love the treasure/jewels. I'd buy it for 7-12 year old kids.
Good family gameReviewed by Derek R. Esterline, 2007-05-26
We've played the game a few times and enjoy it very much. My kids both are Tolkien fans and love it. The rules are not too complicated and therefore not frustrating, and game play length is just right. I also like how they incorporated the concept of trying to steal from Smaug without being detected.
Pretty awfulReviewed by Nathan, 2007-03-18
My brother bought this game a couple years ago. I think we played it once. Since then it's been on the shelf collecting dust. Even if you are a LOTR fan (even if you are a super LOTR fan) I would not recommend this game. The riddles are straight out of the book, so if you have read the hobbit or seen the movie, the riddles are a joke. The song part is really dumb too. You just repeat after another person after they read the song. I can't even remember the other parts of the game. Buy LOTR Risk, that's a really decent game.
