Description

Gopher It is a fun and fast-paced card game where 2 to 4 players take on the role of gophers collecting their winter food supply. The game is simple to learn and can be explained quickly, making it accessible to children and adults alike. Each supply card shows one to three apples, carrots, or nuts, and players take turns uncovering up to four cards from the pile in sequence. However, if the same kind of fruit appears one after the other, the player loses all the cards they uncovered in that turn, adding a thrilling element of tension to the game. As players collect their food supply, they need to be strategic about when to stop and when to take a risk. If they collect more than six of a particular set, they lose everything they've collected so far from that set. But if they collect exactly six pieces of a set, they can exchange it for a gopher trophy. The first player to get their third trophy wins the game. With its unique blend of luck and tactical choices, Gopher It is a game that's both exciting and engaging, making it perfect for kids and adults to play together. Published in 1999 and designed by Reinhard Staupe, this classic game is a great way to spend 10 minutes of fun and competitive gameplay with family and friends.
