Gobgob asked the gods for help. The gods asked about pyramids first.Kemet is a big-battle strategy board game from Matagot, designed by Jacques Bariot and Guillaume Montiage. Each player leads an Egyptian tribe, with armies of miniatures and the powers of the gods of ancient Egypt behind them. Win battles, hold temples, build up your pyramids and spend prayer points on powers, including mighty creatures that march with your troops. The first to reach the target score, usually 8 or 10 victory points, wins.Gobgob's favourite bit: Battles use cards, not dice. You pick from a hand of six that shrinks with every fight, so winning today can leave you short tomorrow.👥 2–5 players  |  ⏱ 90–120 min  |  🎂 Ages 13+📚 Dice Goblin Library game: borrow it at Dice Goblin.🎥 New to it?

Gobgob went on holiday to Bali. The monkeys took the snacks.Kenakalan is a family card game of set collection, themed around tours of Bali and illustrated with real photographs. Kenakalan means “mischief” in Indonesian, and the mischief comes from monkeys. On your turn you take one action: grab or rearrange cards in a central display of five, or draw from the deck. Lay finished tours on your own shop front, each a different size and theme, and the first player to complete all their sets wins.Gobgob's favourite bit: The monkeys. Wise monkeys let you take two actions in one turn, but wicked monkeys cause instant havoc, like pinching a wild card from someone's shop. Holding fewer cards keeps you safer, yet winning often means risking a big hand.👥 2–6 players  |  ⏱ 15–30 min  |  🎂 Ages 8+📚 Dice Goblin Library game: borrow it at Dice Goblin.🎥 New to it?

Gobgob started spelling “snack”. Somebody finished it. Kiitos!Kiitos is a fast card game of words, bluffing and a little deduction.

It plays a bit like a trick-taking game, just with a dictionary.Gobgob's favourite bit: The name means “thank you” in Finnish, which is exactly what you say when someone finishes your word for you. Fake words are allowed too, as long as nobody challenges them.

Bait your rivals into wasting theirs, then strike when nobody has any left.

Score by getting a goal, when two white pieces cling to your rival's striker, or when they drop their striker into their own hole.Gobgob's favourite bit: Those white magnets. Gobgob goes in for a glorious shot and comes back wearing two of them and a very sad face. Point to the other side. Recommended by the Spiel des Jahres jury, and very, very loud.👥 2 players  |  ⏱ 10 min  |  🎂 Ages 8+📚 Dice Goblin Library game: borrow it at Dice Goblin.🎥 New to it? Watch how to play on YouTube

Gobgob defends heroically, and mostly with its elbows.👥 4 players  |  ⏱ 10 min  |  🎂 Ages 8+📚 Dice Goblin Library game: borrow it at Dice Goblin.🎥 New to it? Watch how to play on YouTube
