Just played it at Expo, it's awesome. Light years ahead of where it was even at MGC. Someone took a nice long video of Roger Sharpe playing it, hopefully it'll get posted.

There's so much going on and what they're doing with the drops targets is outstanding.

8, and fast. You're going to have to study the rule sheet again on this one. It's not a slow player, but it is a pretty long player.

The book is cool, but there's not a whole lot of time to look up at it. From what I could tell, it progresses you through the main parts of the story. (Bilbo signs a contract with the dwarves...). Don't ask me how you progress it yet, but I'm guessing it had something to do with the book ramp!

Do you still want another video ?

Correct. If you have "Precious" lit on the outlane, that will pop up. You have until the time the ball hits the outhole (or so) to hit the action button to stop the little line inside the blue section. If you do, ball save.
