One of the first strategy games children are taught is tic-tac-toe. And while it is exciting to see their delight when they finally "get it," it doesn't take many games before they experience the disappointment of a game that ends in a draw. Now Gobblet incorporates the ease of tic-tac-toe with a twist that virtually eliminates stalemates. While this variation makes Gobblet a bit chess-like, it plays in a fraction of the time, leaving plenty of time for a rematch!

The difference that sets Gobblet apart from traditional tic-tac-toe is that in this game you can move any of your pieces that are on the board or add a new piece. Better still, you can gobble up either your own or the other player's pieces of a smaller size. But can you always remember what color your larger piece is covering? Lift the wrong piece and your opponent could win!

Made completely of birch, the entire game is heirloom-quality. The wooden box is designed to be both the playing board and the storage area for the twenty-four Gobblet pieces. For two players ages seven and older.
