My heartfelt gratitude to the French community, with players like Gui, Quentin, Tonio, BigFoot, Boub, Romu, Zorglub, Quick, and many others. Their enthusiasm, countless playtests, tournaments, and friendship have made this project a true collective adventure.

A very special thanks goes to Boub for welcoming us every year and hosting the Hobbit Draft Game Championship. His hospitality and dedication make this annual event possible and unforgettable.

The French Nationals and all the informations on the French LOTR TCG website are proof of the passion that keeps our community strong year after year.

A huge thank you to Durin's Heir for his invaluable help and constant support during the whole development of the Hobbit Draft Game. His guidance, encouragement, and advice were crucial to keep the project alive and moving forward. Our discussion spread over 5 years is available here: discussion with Durin's Heir.

Special thanks to Phallen and Ketura, who made the Hobbit Draft Game possible online through the amazing Gemp-LotR platform. Beyond their technical work, their dedication is what keeps the game alive for so many players around the world. (Ketura is also an administrator of the international LOTR TCG forum.)

I also want to thank Morvael, creator of the excellent mLotro website and client, for gathering and preserving so much valuable information about the game. His work has been a great resource and inspiration for the community.
