Gobgob is planning a heist. Gobgob will need a crew.The Gang is a co-op poker card game from KOSMOS, designed by John Cooper and Kory Heath. It's based on Texas Hold'em, but you're all robbers on the same team. Each round everyone predicts how strong their hand is compared to the others, then the shared cards come out. Rank yourselves correctly and you crack a vault, get it wrong and the alarm goes off. Open three vaults before three alarms to win. No poker experience needed.Gobgob's favourite bit: You can't say what cards you've got. Instead you grab chips to show where you think your hand ranks, from weakest to strongest, and you can even pinch a chip from a mate if you reckon you've got them beat.📦 In the box: 90 cards and 24 chips.👥 3–6 players  |  ⏱ 20 min  |  🎂 Ages 10+🛒 Grab it from Dice Goblin, online or in-store.🎥 New to it?

Gobgob drew a cat. The judges said it was a potato. Gobgob still scored.Duplik is a silly drawing party game from Zygomatic.

When the timer runs out, the drawings are checked against a secret list of details from the original picture, and you score for every detail you nailed. No art skills needed. Honestly, it's funnier if you have none.Gobgob's favourite bit: Nobody knows which details will score until the end, so you have to guess what really matters. Is it the hat? The number of legs? The fact that the dog is wearing sunglasses? Gobgob draws everything, very badly.👥 3–8 players  |  ⏱ 45 min  |  🎂 Ages 8+🛒 Grab it from Dice Goblin, online or in-store.🎥 New to it?
