Oh Gnome You Don't Board Game

The game arrives in great condition, unfortunately was missing three gnome game pieces. The seller quickly and easily sent us the missing pieces! We had been looking for this game a long time and was just thrilled to finally own it.This game is a lot of fun with older kids and teens! There is a bit of strategy to it and takes a bit to learn. It gets very cutthroat and competitive! We’ve had a blast playing it :)

The concept of this game is simple: The men, through honest labor and selling items -or kid friendly bawling, travel across the board to reach Gnomina. It's not the first person that wins the game, and fair Gnomina, but the richest. Saying that there can be some strategy involved, selling at certain places is more lucrative than others. Be wary of stockpiling though, storms and wild animals may take your items! Gameplay is easy to master, you move -as many places as the dice you rolled determine- play -brawl, if you choose to, or table an item by setting it face up in front of you- and draw, a single card.Honestly I'm not overly fond of the game but the kids like it and with the brawling (which is optional and not overly agressive, more like horseplay) it can be a fun way to pass 30 minutes.

The game is very attractive, with beautiful artwork, amusing instrustions and text with cute scenes on the cards and board. You roll, move, play a card for good measure, then draw 1 to end your turn. We played with "Brawls" at first but didn't enjoy them 'as is' and we have some ideas on how to write our own steps for that. For the price, this game is one that can be play for @an hour or so and it's just so cute! Much like Sorry with gnome mischief. Might never go back to Sorry again!

I got this for my friend who has a gnome themed wedding and we ended up playing it, we are all like 30, and we had SUCH a great time, it's kind of cumbersome to get going, but once you understand how to play, it's really really fun!

I love gnomes so I bought it just because. I didn't actually expect it to be as much fun as it is.

Admittedly, I have not played this yet. I got this as a birthday present for a very dear friend. Back in the days when we were younger we used to get slightly intoxicated and go yard shopping! Gnomes are the ultimate yard shopping prize and she has been gnome obsessed ever since! When I saw this I knew that this game was THE GIFT. I have no idea how I will ever top this gift! I believe I have reached my gifting peek, it's all down hill from here! Sorry to my friends and family with future birthdays!

Simple and easy to play. Very cute and fun for the whole family. Artworkl on the cards are very well. Only concern I have is that the carboards figurines are set in plastic and most likely wear out over time.

Originally posted on [...] a new idea everyday!Product- Oh Gnome You Don’t!Producer-Gut Bustin’ GamesSet-up/Play/Clean-up-90 MinutesPrice-$30TL;DR- A simple, fun, roll-to-move game 87.5%Basics- Time to beat the crap out of other gnomes for gems and profit! Oh Gnome You Don’t is a simple roll to move based game with some additional decision making aspects. Players take the roles of gnome as they move across the board trying to sell items at the most opportune times to earn gems. Each turn a player rolls to move, can play one card, and finally draws one card. Players can only move in one direction. Cards are items, cards to attack other players, and cards that have beneficial effects like Oh Gnome You Don’t to prevent an attack. Item cards have two prices. The higher price is for a specific location on the board, while the lowers is a general sale location price. When a player lands on another player, one person can fight the other. Players have a deck of 10 cards each with an attack value. Players select a card and play simultaneously. The difference in the attack value is the number of gems the loser must pay the winner. Play continues until all players cross the finish line with players who finish earlier gaining more gems. Highest number of gems wins.Mechanics-This is a roll to move game. It’s not overly complex, but the cards and fight mechanics do add some fun. Of the roll to move games I have played, this is one of the better ones. This game does not rival some of the hard core Eurogames for complexity, but its goal is to be a simple, fun game. And, it does that well. 4/5Theme-The game has an interesting theme. It’s not completely a gnome brawl, but it’s also not peaceful forest gnomes hugging either other either. It’s fun, but I wouldn’t say I felt like I was a gnome while I played this. 4/5Instructions-The instructions are well done. They are much longer then you would suspect for a roll to move game, but that’s because of the additional mechanics in the game. They are well but together though. 5/5Execution/Art- The art is well done, but it does make some of the spaces difficult to spot. It’s not game ending, but some spots are difficult to see if they are one spot or two. The game is well done for the price with the gems being literal random shaped, plastic pieces. This game could have easily just used cardboard tokens, but the plastic gems give this game a nice touch. 4.5/5Summary-I liked this game. It’s not a game that I would set aside just to play and make plans months in advance to play. But, when the game day is winding down, and we want a simple game to play relatively quickly, this will hit the table. It’s worth the price at $30 bucks. 87.5%
