Gobblet

Players control 12 nesting pieces in three sizes and take turns placing or moving them on a 4×4 grid. Bigger pieces can cover smaller ones, hiding them from view and altering which pieces are actually in play. The objective is to line up four of one’s own visible pieces in a row. Gameplay mixes spatial tactics and memory: players must recall which pieces lie beneath covers to avoid exposing threats or missing opportunities. Moves involve placing a new piece, sliding an existing piece, or lifting a covering piece to reveal what was underneath, creating shifting board dynamics and layers of bluffing and foresight.

    Rather enjoyable! I'm surprised at how much thought I had to put into the game - which seemed so simple at first. It's a variant of Tic Tac Toe, but a good one. See my review for more details...
