Gobbit

Players race to play and grab cards following a simple food chain: mosquito is eaten by chameleon, chameleon is eaten by snake, and a gorilla clears the table by killing all three types. Cards show three animals in three colors, and matching color interactions determine which card can "eat" another. Play proceeds in rapid turns and reactions as cards enter and leave each player’s tableau and the shared graveyard; if all three colored mosquitoes appear, everyone must scramble to avoid losing cards. Optional variant chameleon cards introduce one-off powers when they hit the graveyard.
