Toys and Games Reviews of Gobblet
Customer Review: From the Board Games Editor at BellaOnline.com
Summary: 5 Stars
Gobblet! is an all-wooden game, which incorporates elements of tic-tac-toe (or naughts and crosses) but shakes it up a little bit. Each player gets three each of four different sizes of wooden playing pieces. The pieces nestle into each other.
The game has two big twists that make it different than traditional tic-tac-toe. The first twist is that you can move any of your pieces that are on the board, instead of adding a new piece. The second twist is that you can gobble up either your own or the other player's pieces of a smaller size.
This game is absolutely perfect as a backseat game for two kids on road trips: the wooden box is sturdy and easy to pack and the pieces aren't so small that they'll get lost easily.
Customer Review: we all love this game!
Summary: 5 Stars
this game was at the house where we spent a lot of weekends. we all started playing (9yrs, 7, 5 and parents)and had mini tournaments. finally, i had to buy it for our house. we all love playing it. it changes every game and anyone can win! it makes the kids think before they move and try and remember what is under what. i love how all the pieces fit inside, so easy to keep together. we keep it on the coffee table and play whenever we are just sitting around. each game does not take long (less than 10 minutes), so no time to get bored and not too long of a wait for the next game!Customer Review: Simple to learn, fun to play, competitive for all ages
Summary: 5 Stars
A new classic twist on tic-tac-toe. Get 4 in a row, but wait! Your opponent can place a bigger piece over yours, stealing your spot. Pieces stack in 4 sizes, and part of the strategy is to figure out which size piece to play, and when to use your larger pieces to steal.
Kids to adults love Gobblet, and the classic wooden presentation makes it a game to keep on the coffee table for easy play access any time.
And my 9-year-old says, "Highly competitive - I love it!"

Customer Review: Great thinking game for all ages!
Summary: 5 Stars
My friend introduced me to this game and we used to play it during breaks at work. I enjoyed it so much that I had to buy it for my family as Christmas gift. The game takes the simple ideas of tic-tac-toe and concentration and merges them into a fascinating strategy game. It is easy to learn but takes years to master.
The game and pieces conveniently store inside the game board case, so it is easy to clean up and carry with you to parties, work or coffee shops.
I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes thinking games.
Customer Review: My favorite game, and I'm not a kid
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an adult who meets a friend once a week for as many rounds of Gobblet as we can take (ok, we play Cathedral too--both games rock). Everyone thinks we're nerds, but this game is so addictive we don't even care. It's so easy to play that in no time you "get it" and can hold your own against other players. It's not too brainy (I can't get into chess), but not too simple (Connect Four is just too easy and gets boring really fast). I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good strategic game that's not too difficult but hours of fun.
