Under their younger players label Klee Kosmos also released a new game named Der Kleine Hobbit, based on the adventures of Bilbo as described in The Hobbit. Like Bilbo, the players have to journey through Middle Earth to the Lonely Mountain, where the game will end with the final confrontation with Smaug the Dragon. As for coming forwards on their way, the players simply roll two dice and they may use the results of one or both of them to move their playing piece forwards. However, moving fast is not always the best choice, since the players usually are well counseled to stop several times on their way in order to pick up useful items or find friends. These cards may be used to solve events which may occur - the game features a big deck of many events which are taken from the story of The Hobbit.

Although the game aims at a much younger audience, it is a more mature product that Die Gefährten. Graphics of cards and other game components stand as a harmonic whole, and the rules are sophisticated enough to offer younger players good fun during the game.
