It's a head-to-head duel for two players.

Earn favour tokens along the way and spend them on the gods' powers to deal damage or heal. Knock out all of your opponent's Health stones to win.Gobgob's favourite bit: The God Favours. Save up enough tokens and you can call on a Norse god to swing the fight in one mighty turn. Gobgob saves them for dramatic effect, then forgets to use them.👥 2 players  |  ⏱ 10–15 min  |  🎂 Ages 14+📚 Dice Goblin Library game: borrow it at Dice Goblin.🎥 New to it?

At the end of each turn, you learn whether Jack is seen (in the light or next to someone) or hiding alone in the dark, and suspects get cleared in one go.

Gobgob has two left feet. Luckily, this dance is all cards.Lindyhop is a co-operative trick-taking card game for two, designed by Kiwis James Smeal and Mark Kaneko.

Every dance, try to beat your best score.Gobgob's favourite bit: Some cards have powers that only switch on during certain parts of the music, and you can't tell your partner what's in your hand. Run out of dance cards before the song ends and you score nothing. No pressure, dancers.👥 2 players  |  ⏱ 15–30 min  |  🎂 Ages 10+📚 Dice Goblin Library game: borrow it at Dice Goblin.🎥 New to it?

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.
