Gooblurs Feed Frenzy

Created by: Lindberg Studios

A marble-shooting trading card game

🧠 Theme

Gooblur Beans are hungry creatures that LOVE marbles. Players compete by shooting marbles to “feed” opposing Gooblurs. When a Gooblur is hit, its owner gives up a card as the reward.

🧰 What You Need

• 🟣 3 Gooblur figures per player (targets)

• 🃏 Gooblur trading cards (your collection/deck)

• 🔵 Marbles

• 1 shooter marble per player

• At least 3 regular marbles per player

• 📏 String or tape (to mark shooting line)

• 🟩 Flat play area (table, floor, or board)

• 👥 2+ players

🏗️ Setup

1. Each player places 3 Gooblur figures in their own “target zone.”

2. Mark a shooting line using string or tape behind each player.

3. Each player selects prize Gooblur cards they are willing to risk during the game.

4. BEFORE starting, agree on how card trading will work:

• 🟢 Play for keeps – won cards are permanently taken

• 🟡 Blind draw – opponent draws randomly from your hand

• 🔵 Pick 3 – you choose 3 cards, opponent selects 1

• 🟣 Face-up choice – opponent chooses 1 from 3 revealed cards

🎮 How to Play

Players take turns shooting marbles from behind their shooting line.

🔹 Two Play Styles

🟢 Easy Mode

• Players use their shooter marble only

• You aim directly at opponent Gooblurs

• The shooter marble must be the one that hits the target

🔵 Hard Mode

• Place a small marble on the shooting line

• Use your shooter marble to strike the small marble

• The small marble becomes the “active hitter” and must hit the Gooblur

🎯 Objective of a Turn

Try to hit an opponent’s Gooblur figure using your marble system.

🍽️ Feeding Rule

• If you hit an opponent’s Gooblur:

• That Gooblur is “fed”

• You earn 1 Gooblur card from that player

• If you hit your own Gooblur:

• It counts as a mistake

• You must give 1 Gooblur card to an opponent (they choose)

🔁 Turn Flow

1. Line up behind your shooting line

2. Take your shot

3. Check for hits

4. Resolve card exchange

5. Next player’s turn

🏆 How to Win

The first player to:

• 🍽️ Feed 3 opposing Gooblurs

• 🃏 AND collect 3 Gooblur cards from other players

wins the game.

💡 Optional improvement (if you want it even tighter later)

You could add:

• Obstacles = place physical objects to avoid

• different target sizes = different rewards

• “combo hits” for hitting multiple Gooblurs in a turn
