Description

Glom is a ridiculously fun game that will put your word skills to the test in a series of hilarious challenges. With its quick playtime of just 5 to 20 minutes, you can jump into a game with 1 to 6 players and start rewriting common phrases to meet random goals. The game's normal complexity makes it easy for board game fans to learn, and its unique blend of game mechanics, including pattern building and simultaneous action selection, ensures that each round is fresh and exciting. As you play Glom, you'll find yourself trying to come up with creative solutions to absurd challenges, like rewriting a phrase without using certain words or stuffing as many vowels as possible into a sentence.

With its humor-filled gameplay and party game vibe, Glom is the perfect addition to any game night. Published in 2023 by a team of experienced game designers, including Sydney Engelstein, Ellen Burns-Johnson, and Mark LaCroix, Glom is a must-play for anyone looking for a lighthearted and entertaining game that will leave you laughing and eager for more.
