My son gobbled up "Gobblet!"
This is a great game for the money! It's tic-tac-toe on a whole new level. This game takes quick thinking and lots of strategy...great for all ages....I'm 40 and I LOVE it!! It's a game the whole family can share. I recommend it for everyone!

brought as a gift
I brought this as a gift for one of my son's friends (age 9). When I asked him how he liked the game, he lit up with excitement. He explained that he has played against both his parents, and even beat his mom. I think this is a great game to bring people together.

Excellent game, simple yet challenging
Gobblet is a simple looking game that is part tic-tac-toe and part connect four, but has three dimensions. The game board is a 4x4 grid, and each player has twelve black or white playing pieces. Each player plays one piece at a time to try to get four in a row. Easy huh? Oh, did I mention that your twelve pieces come in four different sizes? And that bigger pieces can "gobble" up the smaller pieces on the game board? This is no hungry-hungry hippos though, it is a tricky game of strategy.

Our little boy is 4 1/2 and even though we need to throw a few games his way now and then to keep him interested, he gets it. He is starting to understand that you need to balance your own objective of getting four in a row with stopping your opponent who has a similar objective. Looking ahead more than one play is a critical thinking skill that we look forward to him mastering.

The real fun happens after the kids go to bed and my wife and I get the game back out. Like Triominos, it is one of the few games that we play with and without the kids around. The playing board sits atop a carrying box, all made of wood (like the playing pieces) and is felt lined. This game was built to last for awhile, which is a good thing, because we plan on playing it a lot.
