GembloQ (2014)

About this game

GembloQ is an abstract strategy game with translucent, colored pieces, each of which is made up of one to five squares. Each player has an identical set of pieces in a unique color, and the goal is to get rid of all of your pieces by placing them on the square game board. The first piece you place must be in the corner close to you, and each subsequent piece must touch the corner of one of your pieces already on the board.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
