But the question doesn't have answer. Will there be The Hobbit TCG?
Considering the margin of success in the long run, I'm not sure Decipher will bother, so at least no The Hobbit TCG that plays ALONGSIDE LotR TCG, which already makes it not that great, even if it does come out.
Plus, with the LCG making good money and appearing like it will last more in the long run, I seriously doubt it, though I'd love to be proved wrong.
