First player to get rid of all their chairs wins.Gobgob's favourite bit: Pete never stops. You have to time your stack while the truck is rolling, which turns every turn into a tiny, wobbly heist. Great fun for kids and grown-ups alike.👥 2–4 players  |  🎂 Ages 4+📚 Dice Goblin Library game: borrow it at Dice Goblin.🎥 New to it? Watch how to play on YouTube
