From how hungry they are to how stupid, tough, or naughty they feel, the Gobbos just can't get enough of telling each other off. But beware, for lurking in the shadows are the Trolls, who can outshout even the most vocal Gobbo and are far hungrier, tougher, stupider, and naughtier than their green counterparts. As you play, you'll take turns drawing cards and comparing one of four ridiculous statements with your fellow players. The goal is simple: win the round by having the best card, and take the trick.
