Gobblet Gobblers: A Strategy Game from Timberdoodle

 Gobblet Gobblers is an adorable, strategy game from the company Blue Orange. The game is designed for ages 5+. It takes tic-tac-toe to a whole new level! My son giggled at the funny faces the game pieces made, and was quick to figure out how to gobble up his opponents.  My husband also enjoyed this game. He teaches UIL chess (he is a middle school teacher), and he loves strategy games.

Little Man was excited to set up the colorful game pieces, and picked his favorite color for his team-blue. He wasn't as observant the first couple of times he played, but he quickly learned to watch what moves his daddy was making too!

The maneuvers of the game can take a few tries to perfect, but even my 5 year old learned how to set a big piece out, so he could gobble others' pieces (honestly, his favorite part!). He also learned how to move the pieces on the board. I really love how this game teaches kids to think ahead, and observe their opponent.

The one con: My husband stated that the game pieces were a bit tricky to get exactly back in the box. He felt a better alternative would be a little drawstring bag or something similar. That is the only downside, and I highly recommend this product!

On a different day, my son asked me if I would sit down and play with him. To me, that's the true test of a great game. One that gets asked to be played with over and over again are always the best ones! Momma isn't quite as strategic as Daddy, so maybe that's why he asked for me! ha!

This is a perfect game to complete a thinking skills curriculum, or to just have around the house. I love games that feel challenging and fun for both little ones and parents alike!
