Gobblet is a two-player wooden strategy board game designed for ages 7 and up. The game challenges players to align four pieces in a row on a 4x4 grid while using memory and tactical thinking. Each player starts with twelve nesting pieces that can cover smaller ones, adding depth to traditional tic-tac-toe mechanics. Moves involve placing exposed pieces from off-board stacks or repositioning pieces already in play, with restrictions on covering opponent pieces unless blocking a potential win. The game includes a wooden storage box with a lid, 24 wooden playing pieces, and straightforward instructions. It encourages skill development in strategy, observation, turn-taking, and fine motor control. Suitable for children and adults, Gobblet offers replayable gameplay with simple rules but evolving complexity. Originally Blue Orange’s debut title, Gobblet is part of their award-winning collection, which includes Kingdomino and Photosynthesis. A junior version, Gobblet Gobblers, features a 3x3 grid and simplified play for younger audiences. The compact wooden design makes it an accessible addition to any board game collection.
