Overview

Goblins just can’t resist shiny things. These little schemers will stop at nothing to end up with the biggest hoard of gold and treasure. From sharpened forks to secret bombs, everything goes with these greedy goblins! Welcome to Squabblin' Goblins, a two player game of secrets and deduction. In this game, you play as competing goblins trying to get the best loot. You’ll each end up with three piles at the end of the game, but watch out - the piles on your side of the field could end up empty, or even worth negative points! Emma Larkins's game Heartcatchers caught our eye so many years ago. It was only 21 cards, just outside of our wallet limits. But Emma took the core game and cut it down to 18 cards and changed the adorable hearts into adorable goblins. This one plays 2, and it is quite the competitive little game of sneakily messing with each other. —description from the publisher
