Players need to collect raw materials, hire apprentices, and keep a watchful eye on their workforce. These are treacherous times, and rival architects will stop at nothing to slow your progress. Will you remain virtuous, or be found in the company of thieves and black marketeers? Points are gained by constructing various buildings and advancing work on the Archbishop’s cathedral. The game ends once a set number of constructions have been completed and the one with the most points, wins! Gobblet! Designed by: Thierry DenoualPublished by: Blue Orange Games (2000)Players: 2Ages: 7 & upPlaying time: 20 Min In Gobblet, players place pieces on a 4×4 grid, striving to get four pieces in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row. Each player has a set of 12 nesting pieces that start in 3 stacks off the board. On a turn, you either play an exposed piece from off-the-board piles or move a piece on the board to any other spot on the board where it fits. A larger piece can cover any smaller piece. A piece being played from off the board may not cover an opponent’s piece unless it’s in a row where your opponent has three of his color. Your memory is tested as you try to remember which color one of your larger pieces is covering before you move it. A player wins if four like-colored pieces are in a row.
