Gobblet

Gobblet is a simple yet surprisingly strategic abstract game that's been a hit in our household. It's easy to learn, with rules that are quickly grasped by kids and adults alike. The game is played on a 4x4 grid, and the goal is to get four of your pieces in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. What makes Gobblet unique is the "gobble" mechanic, where larger pieces can cover smaller ones, adding a layer of depth and intrigue.

The quality of the game is excellent. The wooden box and pieces are well-made and sturdy. I particularly appreciate that the game is easy to set up and clean up, making it a great option for a quick game session.

While the game is primarily designed for two players, it has provided hours of family fun for us, with kids ages 12+ and adults all enjoying it. It's definitely a game that requires some strategic thinking, and the "gobble" mechanic adds a fun element of surprise. It's a great game for families and anyone who enjoys abstract strategy games.

One minor complaint I have is that the smallest pieces can sometimes get stuck inside the second smallest piece, requiring some gentle banging to free them. But this is a minor inconvenience, and the game is still very enjoyable. Overall, Gobblet is a highly recommended game for families and anyone who enjoys abstract strategy games.
