A card game parody of fantasy epic quests! Avoid going on Wizard Gudgrief's deadly quest in this card game for 1-6 players.
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!

Game Example #1 (Video)
Here you find us playing through a 2-player game of Thing with the Ring! We chose this game from many, as we managed to film a rare case of an ultimate tie-breaker! Winning conditions when the Party departs on the Quest are set by most Magic, then if tied most Excuses, then if tied least Shadow, with the Battle Die only coming in, should there still be a tie!
Game Example #2 (Video)
In this game, Belinda Balderdash flirts with becoming the new Thing with the Ring before her Shadow is whittled away and is forced to look at other ways to win.
