Gobblet Gobblers (2015 Version

Product Information

If you’ve been wondering where the different sized pieces come into play, then wonder no longer! If your opponent has put down a small or a medium-sized Gobbler in a spot, you can take over their spot by placing a larger Gobbler over the top of them. This is now your spot. Moving the Gobblers The gobblets forming the line do not all have to be the same size and can be lined up vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Why We Love It: While we love tic-tac-toe, Gobblet Gobblers takes it one step further and adds a whole extra dimension to proceedings. It’s a laugh a minute and a great test of your memory. Playing Gobblet Gobblers – What You’ll Need OBJECTIVE OF GOBBLET GOBBLERS:The objective of Gobblet Gobblers is to be the first player to match 3 of your characters in a row. NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2 Players MATERIALS:A rulebook, a game board (separated into 4 connectable pieces), 2 sets of 6 colored characters. TYPE OF GAME : Strategy Board Game AUDIENCE:Kids, Teens, and Adults

The first player can be determined randomly – you can do it so that the youngest player goes first. They start the game off by placing a Gobbler in any space made by the grid. The second player does the same, and so on. Gobbling Other PlayersUncovering Gobblets: You can move any gobblet on the board whether it is covering another gobblet or not. However, if you uncover one of your opponent's pieces, and this move reveals a line of 4 of your opponent's pieces, you lose unless you can place your gobblet over a different piece in this same line of 4.

The Gobblers come in several different sizes as well – you’ll get 2 large Gobblers, 2 medium Gobblers, and 2 small Gobblers for each color. The different sizes are set up so that you can play strategically – we’ll look at how you use this ‘gobbling’ strategy below. Gobblet Gobblers Rules Gobblet Gobblers is a strategy board game for 2 players. The goal of the game is to match three of your colored pieces before your opponent does. SETUP

Components

Touched Gobblet: Once you touch a gobblet that is on the board you must play it. If you touch a gobblet that cannot be played, you automatically lose that game. Like tic-tac-toe, you have to get three of your pieces in a row – either horizontally, diagonally, or vertically – to win. What steps things up a notch is that you can use your larger pieces to cover the smaller pieces – this is the ‘gobbling’ part of the game. Using the bigger pieces is a more strategic move, so keep them close and don’t waste them! Gobbling: You can gobble up your own pieces. You can gobble up any smaller size gobblet; it does not have to be the next size down. In turns, players can either put a new gobblet on the board, move one of their gobblets already on the board to any empty space or gobble up any smaller size gobblet with a bigger gobblet already in play. Gobblet is, in fact the original game that Gobblet Gobblers is derived from. The main difference is that Gobblet isn’t played with the fun characters that Gobblet Gobblers is played with.
