About the game

What you do in a play session

GYM is a fast-paced, fun game that recreates the vibe of gym class, where teams compete in sporting events. Split into two phases, the game starts with the 'Pick' phase, where each player recruits kids for their team — some are star athletes, others are troublemakers who can shake things up. In the 'Play' phase, teams assign their kids to events (4 out of 6 available), using special abilities to sabotage opponents or secure advantages. Each kid has unique skills, and timing is everything. The team with the most points after the events wins! Part of the Pack O Game series, GYM is compact but packed with strategy and interaction. Perfect for fans of team-based games with a dash of controlled chaos.
