Shire-Styled Board Games

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Hobit Yahtzee Edition Includes a Precious Bejewelled Chalice

— November 26, 2013 — Life-Stages
What better way is there to celebrate the Christmas release of the long-awaited Middle Earth prologue than with The Hobbit Yahtzee? If you are a game night enthusiast, there probably is none. Instead of numbers, the dice are printed in an Elvish language. The Desolation of Smaug edition of the popular dice game comes with a faux chalice completely decked out in fake gemstones. The collector's item also adds a touch of luxury as the goblet has a pretend gold finish, compared to the regular red cups found in the classic version. The Hobbit Yahtzee also comes with a score pad, rules and pencil.

This board game is a playful way to combine your favorite fantasy novel with a nostalgic game. It also makes a fun holiday past-time for the entire family.
Trend Themes
1. Fantasy-inspired Board Games - There is an opportunity to create board games that combine popular fantasy novels with classic game play, appealing to fans of both.
2. Luxury Collectible Game Items - Adding luxurious elements to collectible game items, such as faux gemstones and gold finishes, can attract collectors and enhance the value of the product.
3. Nostalgic Game Revivals - Reviving classic games with a modern twist, such as using Elvish language dice, can captivate both new and old players.
Industry Implications
1. Board Game Industry - Board game manufacturers can explore creating fantasy-inspired games to tap into the market of avid fans who love both books and games.
2. Collectibles Industry - The collectibles industry can benefit from incorporating luxurious elements into game items to target collectors and increase demand.
3. Recreation and Leisure Industry - Companies in the recreation and leisure industry can revive classic games with innovative adaptations to attract new players and revive nostalgia.
