Hungry Troll and the Gobbos (1989)

About this game

Gobbos are not very clever. They spend hours and hours shouting at each other. They really love shouting about anything. And they really love shouting about very very important things. They just love telling each other about how hungry they are feeling, or how stupid, tough or naughty they are. And sooner or later, being Gobbos, they start arguing. BUT Gobbos had better watch out for Trolls! They can shout even louder than Gobbos. Trolls are much, much more hungry, tough, stupid and naughty than any green Gobbo. Players take cards and compare one of four statements with each other. The player with the best card wins the round and takes the trick. Winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the round.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
