A family friendly title is coming in late spring from Queen Games. In Kobold, two to four players will send their goblins into a young boy’s room to make off with his toys and fake gems. The game is for ages 6 and up and takes about 20 minutes to play. Kobold will carry an MSRP of $34.99 when it arrives in June.
From Queen:
The kobolds are running wild, pilfering Maurice’s favorite toys, and even his beloved gem collection! Though only simple fake gems, they sparkle so wonderfully that the kobolds must have them!
In Kobold, the players send their kobolds to collect toys and gems, gaining points for them during and at the end of the game. But Maurice is hot on the trail of the little rascals with his flashlight: If a kobold is caught by its light beam (which is part of the clever 3D set-up), it takes to its heels as fast as it can. Whoever most skillfully avoids the light beam and collects the greatest number of points wins!
