How the Board Works

  1. Normal play except for the South Farthing, which has in addition to it's bonus, a 'hordes' bonus and special locations described below.
  2. Special locations are Michel Delving (defends with advantage), Bombadil's Haunt (special view/artillery borders to East Farthing), Buckleberry Ferry (can attack, at -1, all non-adjacent water locations and can attack all of Buckland), Hobbiton (attacks with bonus and range, artillery border to the locations 2 away), Longbottom's Enclave (limited units, but attacks with +3 advantage to other special locations).

Scenarios

  1. Basic Hobbit Edition - the default map
  2. Crazy Killer Hobbits Edition - attacks are at +1, attack orders limited to 50, abandon is ON (immediate), return to attack from fortify is OFF, infinite Reserves
  3. King of the Hill special edition - Hobbiton's value is increased and it can view the entire map
  4. The Tower of Annuminas special edition - Annuminas is added, worth +10 and can view the entire map, but it takes ownership of 3 other special locations to obtain it
  5. Tom Bombadil special edition - owner of Bombadil's Haunt get's +1 factory bonus to all owned locations and can fortify to any owned (non-special) locations
