The Thing with the Ring (Second Edition) (2022)

Robbits (the nickname for Urban Halflings) are a small mischievous folk with an uncanny habit of ‘finding’ ancient relics of vast and horrifying power. In this case, a troublesome Ring, belonging to an evil wizard called Nörmün. Nörmün has sent his Goblins to retrieve the Ring, even as the Wizard Gudgrief tries to form a Party of Dwarves, Elves and Robbits to take the Ring away on a Quest. But the reluctant Robbits know that nobody ever comes back from Gudgrief’s Quests, so the Dwarves are forced to Press-Gang and the Elves to Enchant them out of their Pits to join the Party. However, Robbits are innately ‘Tricksy’ and will use Magic and Excuses to avoid going on the Quest. Only one Robbit will live to tell the epic tale of... The Thing with the Ring! In The Thing with the Ring, you take on the role of a Robbit and the object of the game is to avoid going on the Quest to get rid of the evil Ring. Dwarves, Elves and Goblins will turn up on your doorstep and you must manage them with Magic and Excuses or risk joining the Party and going on the Quest. The Game is for one to six Players and it is comprised of one Rulebook, one hundred cards, and one die, known as the Battle Die. —description from the publisher
