Gobblet (named for the wooden cup-like markers used by players to gobble each others' pieces) is a purist's dream. Players use logic and memory to get four pieces in a row on the board. But if you think this is just an ultra-nerdy version of tic-tac-toe, you done thunk wrong.
Two players take turns moving one piece at a time. They can place a new token on the board, or put one of the hollow pieces over an existing piece—either their own, or one belonging to the other player. The winner is the first to get four pieces in a row.
It's that simple. But between getting your little wooden guys lined up, thwarting the enemy's efforts, and remembering how the pieces are stacked, Gobblet is never the same game. You might not be Mr. I-Use-Logic-To-Solve-Puzzles, but even Mr. I-Want-To-Play-A-Fun-Game can enjoy this one.

Review by C. Hollis Crossman
C. Hollis Crossman used to be a child. Now he is a husband and father, teaches adult Sunday school in his Presbyterian congregation, and likes weird stuff. He might be a mythical creature, but he's definitely not a centaur. Read more of his reviews here.
