Read the full game description

Players in Gloobz need to act quickly to grab the right things from the table before anyone else can. Seven plastic items start in the middle of play: three paint cans (blue, red, yellow), three critters (triangular, square, round) and one boss gloob that is all colors and shapes. On a turn, a player calls either "more" or "less", then flips the top card of the deck. Depending on what's called, players race to grab the items that correspond to the color and shape most (or least) visible on the card, scoring one point for each item correctly grabbed. If a magnifying glass appears on the card, players can grab anything they want. If the boss shows up, just grab him and score three points if you do. The number of points needed to win depends on the number of players. Attrapez-les tous ! Les Gloobz sont d’adorables créatures mais elles sèment la pagaille partout où elles passent : rattrapez-les vite ! Selon l’annonce du tour, saisissez les figurines dont la forme et la couleur sont les moins ou les plus représentées sur la carte en jeu. Chaque bonne figurine saisie vous fait marquer 1 point mais en cas d’erreur, une pénalité vous attend. Et des cartes spéciales viennent se mêler à ce joyeux désordre. Ayez l’esprit et le geste vifs pour attraper ces drôles de créatures avant vos adversaires! Points forts : matériel ludique, réfléchir vite, ambiance survoltée.
