FBTB - From Bricks To Bothans

The title says it all and you can grab the newest addition to the LEGO games collection at Amazon, or take advantage of the Shop@Home double VIP point deal. I know some folks view this as a missed opportunity for an adventure game, but that was pretty well taken care of with the Heroica line. I guess they could do a game where you climb a mountain, run from monsters and search for treasure… kinda like Ramses Pyramid. Oh, you could have one with dragon on the mounta… nevermind.

Glorified matching game it is, easier to turn in into a drinking game anyway. The dwarves would approve.

Toys “R” Us has The Hobbit LEGO board game available to pre-order for $34.99. I’ll be adding this one to my game collection and look forward to picking it up when it’s released on September 24th.

The world of The Hobbit comes alive in a whole new way with this fun LEGO Board Game! Build the board yourself, then put your brain to the test to help find the missing dwarves in Hobbiton. In this cool twist on the classic memory game, you’ll use clues from beloved characters like Gandalf the Grey and the hobbits of the Shire to figure out the dwarves’ location.
