About the game
What you do in a play session
Gobbit is a super dynamic reaction game where speed and perception are your best weapons! The goal is to be the last player with cards on the table, in a frantic first-to-slap showdown. The cards are illustrated with three types of animals in three different colors, and the key to the game is understanding the food chain: chameleons devour mosquitoes, and snakes swallow chameleons. Simple, right? But things heat up with the gorilla, a special card that sends all other animals to the graveyard, causing real chaos on the table. And if mosquitoes of all three colors appear at the same time, it's a race to the graveyard! Whoever gets there first can save themselves or even gain cards, while the slower ones lose everything. For those seeking an extra challenge, advanced rules introduce chameleons with unique powers, activated when they are on top of the graveyard, adding an extra strategic layer to this animal madness. Get ready for sharp reflexes and loads of fun!
