The Unexpected Journey Comes to Boardgames

Spin Master and Warner Bros. Consumer Products have teamed up to create Stratego—The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug game based on The Hobbit Trilogy, including the blockbuster The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, as well as the second and third films, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and The Hobbit: There and Back Again, productions of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.

Created for kids ages 8 and up, Stratego—The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug combines Classic Stratego battlefield strategy with the world of The Hobbit Trilogy for two ways to play. On one side of the game board, players can enjoy original Stratego play with detailed artwork from The Hobbit Trilogy. On the other side, players can take on the role of Bilbo Baggins and The Company of Dwarves to find a way to escape from Mirkwood. Alternatively, players can play as Spiders, Wargs and Orcs to keep Bilbo and the Dwarves trapped forever.
