I really love my Hobbit. I had contemplated selling it but then got a bad feeling about doing so. It's just weird, whenever I play it I feel happy regardless of the score. I think there is a lot of strategy on hitting things and the extra ball is the most unique reward I've seen in a while. For some reason, it's the game I always go back to the most and my collection is starting to get pretty good. Anyway, wish I had more in depth comments but it's getting late.
Bottom line: The Hobbit is just fun to play. I've learned not to care about critique and just enjoy my games.
