It could only be more appropriate if it were Piketon’s township

I agree. I love the art and it was fun for about 4-5 games but it got really old after that. I even bought expansions thinking it would liven it up again and Bellfaire is highly rated, but I didn’t think the expansions added anything. My husband has been suggesting it lately but even the thought of playing it feels like a slog.

I agree. Being directed by Peter Jackson is not the slam dunk it once was (in my mind). I know the Hobbit was a mess for several reasons that weren’t his fault, but there was plenty he did have control over that I didn’t like.
