Blunt the blades, twist the forks; Shatter the bottles, ignite the corks; Nick the glasses, fracture the plates; That’s the disdainful list of Bilbo Baggins’ hates!
"An Unexpected Party" unfolds as a lively, high-energy tabletop game tailored for 2-4 players, immersing them in the initial scenes of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey." Picture the dismay on Bilbo's face as the thirteen Dwarves appear unannounced at Bag End. Amidst the chaos, the dwarves engage in playful banter with Bilbo, all while Gandalf keeps a vigilant eye.
Step into the Dwarves' shoes, accumulating points by delivering lines from the notorious song, "The Things Bilbo Hates." As you traverse Bag End, create a ruckus, collect items, and tread carefully not to test Bilbo's patience too much, lest you find yourself without dinner in the Dining Hall!
The game concludes either upon completing all 15 lines of the song or with the grand entrance of Thorin. The player garnering the most points – the one who expertly stirs Bilbo's curiosity and disrupts his tranquil life – emerges victorious!
"An Unexpected Party" is family-friendly, boasting captivating artwork by Weta Workshop's senior concept artist, Daniel Falconer. Delve into Bag End for an hour and throw your very own Unexpected Party!
