Gobblet
« on: December 08, 2012, 06:03:19 am »

Anyone care for a game of Gobblet with me?

I've only played the lite version, and I'd like to start off with that to get a feel of if/how it works over forum, and then maybe have a go at the full game.

Here's how the lite version works:

It's a Tic Tac Toe variant. 2 players, 3*3 board, each player has 6 pieces of 3 different sizes. On any given turn you take a piece of your colour, either from your supply or from the board (if it's visible) and place it on the board, either on an empty square or one which contains only smaller pieces, covering them up (a different square if taken from the board).

Winner is the first player to have 3 visible pieces in a row of their own colour, vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

The full game has a 4*4 board and each player has 12 pieces of 4 different sizes, and you need 4 in a row.

The first few turns might go something like this:

1    2    3
1    2    3



0    0    0
0    0    0
0    0    0


1    2    3
1    2    3


-----

1 -> B1


1    2    3
      2    3



0    1    0
0    0    0
0    0    0


1    2    3
1    2    3


----

2 -> B1


1    2    3
      2    3



0    2    0
0    0    0
0    0    0


1    2    3
1          3


-----

2 -> A2


1    2    3
             3



0    2    0
2    0    0
0    0    0


1    2    3
1          3


-----

A2 -> B2


1    2    3
            3



0    1    0
2    2    0
0    0    0


1    2    3
1          3


-----

etc.

Anyone want to play? First in just start a game. You may choose your colour and turn order.

I love Gobblet. I keep a copy at work to play at lunchtime.

I'm out all day today, so I won't be in. I'll let someone else call it, but I'll play if no one steps forward. I suspect it's not that well known of a game, and someone might be lurking to see how it plays out.

Seems interesting, but I'd rather watch the first game, just to see how it plays out.

But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Oh my, sorry, totally forgot about this. Should have sent me a PM :P. Taking the only move (I think) that doesn't lead to me losing next turn or the turn after.

Wow, I didn't see that coming so much that I decided to make the move for you (but then decided, no, I'll let you take your obvious move and deleted the post). So correct me if I'm wrong, but in 2 turns we draw, right?

So for example, if you had a blue 1 or 2 directly under one of your 3s, you could put that 3 on top of my 2 and win.
