In Tantrix Gobble, players divide all 56 tiles. The game is a race to see who can play all their tiles first. Tiles must touch (and match) at least two tiles when played. A GOBBLE occurs when a tile is played in a space surrounded by at least 3 tiles (and color paths match on all sides). Gobbles allow players to remove 1 tile from their penalty stack. It is a family game which is more about speed than strategy. It suits fast rather than deep thinkers and is a fun introduction for younger players who find the tactics and restrictions of Tantrix Strategy a bit overwhelming. The optimum number of players will depend on how much chaos you can take - more than 4 players and elbows definitely become a factor! For 1 to 6 players, 56 tiles, Ages 5+, Average duration: 10 minutes. Players race against each other to add all their tiles to "the Tantrix". Players may only add tiles which touch at least two tiles already played. Players are rewarded for filling gobbles! To fill a gobble, add a tile to the Tantrix which touches at least three other tiles. Comes with a variety of rulesets for various styles of play. Still contains Tantrix Solitaire, over 40 puzzles, and the Tantrix Strategy game for 2-4 players. Similar to: Tantrix The Mind Game Kaliko
