Description

Gobblet is a fun and strategic board game designed by Thierry Denoual, first published in 2000. In this abstract strategy game, two players compete to create a row of four pieces, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, on a 4x4 grid. The game starts with each player having twelve pieces that can nest on top of one another, and players take turns placing or moving pieces on the board. The game requires a combination of pattern building and recognition, as well as memory, as players need to remember which pieces are hidden underneath others. With simple rules to learn, Gobblet is easy to pick up, but challenging to master, making it a great game for players of all ages. A typical game lasts around 20 minutes, making it a great option for a quick and engaging gaming session.
