Gobblet
Gobblet is a game similar to four-in-a-row, but the pieces are gobblets
of four different sizes. The larger gobblets can be used to
hide the smaller ones. Each turn, you can either add a new
piece to the board, or move a piece from any position to any other
position on the board. When adding a new piece to the board,
you can only cover an opposing piece if it is part of a row of three
opposing pieces.
In the official
rules, Gobblet is a memory game. If you pick up a
piece from the board, you must move it. If you pick up a
piece that reveals a win for your opponent, you lose
immediately. Obviously, using only your memory can't be
strictly enforced in internet play, so in the standard game, boardspace
allows you to peek under your own gobblets. The memory game
is also available as variation GobbletM.
Robots:
The dumbest robot will beat beginners, or any inattentive
opponent, but has weaknesses. On the other hand,
the best robot is very, very good; challenging for even the best
players.
