Encyclopedia
Gobblet is a board game
for two players designed by Thierry Denoual and published in 2001 by Gigamic
and Blue Orange Games. Gobblet was a finalist
for the 2004 Jeu de l'année
.
The game is played on a 4×4 board. Each player has 12 pieces of different sizes in his colour. Players take turns to place a piece on the board or move their piece that already is on the board. Bigger pieces can be placed so that they cover smaller ones. A player wins by placing his piece to make four pieces of his colour in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row.
In 2003, Gigamic and Blue Orange Games released Gobblet Junior, a version of the game for younger players, which is played on a 3×3 board.
In 2009 Blue Orange Games published revisioned editions: Gobblet X4 and Gobblet Gobblers to replace Gobblet and Gobblet Jr. accordingly.
