The hobbits' unexpected journey continues in Der Hobbit: Smaugs Einöde. In Mirkwood, Bilbo and his comrades meet sneaky spiders and must flee from hostile wood elves, but the most dangerous enemy proves to be the dragon Smaug, who sets out to destroy Bilbo and the hobbits, attacking them again and again, only to see himself pushed back. Will the hobbits be able to reach the Lonely Mountain? Only by working together can the players win this game.
