Glom (2023)

About this game

Rewrite the Phrase, while following the Rule, to meet the Goal! Glom, from the hosts of Nice Games Club, is a fast-paced, quick-witted game of ridiculously reworded remarks. Each round, a common phrase is revealed that players will have to rewrite, according to a random rule, in order to achieve a random goal. How do you say "Who ate the last cookie?" without using any words over four letters long? How many vowels can you stuff into a brand new version of "Better late than never" without using any double-letters? A hilarious game that pushes vocabulary to the brink of insanity, with an objective (but unpredictable!) scoring system. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
