The Lonely Mountain: Lair of Smaug the Dragon
Lonely Mountain is an adventure game played by 1 to 6 players. Each player controls a group of adventurers attempting to sneak into the Lonely Mountain (Erebor) and steal as much loot as possible. However¸ they must escape before Smaug the Dragon awakens¸ discovers their trespasses¸ and slays them all. The game takes place relatively soon after Smaug attacked and drove out the Dwarves in Third Age 2770. At that time¸ Smaug had not yet sealed all of the minor entrances¸ and he considered the entire inner complex of rooms and tunnels to be his lair. Thus adventurers can enter (and hopefully leave) in a variety of ways. A raid such as the one this game depicts could have been the event that caused Smaug to close all the minor entrances and to gather most of Erebor's loot into one huge pile.
