Gizmos (Second Edition)

Gizmos is a nice, quick, fun, and simple engine building game. Everyone I have played it with has loved it and continually ask to play it. In 2020, Gizmos was my most played game with 49 plays. I see this being a big hit with my friends and family for years to come!

Gizmo's is a worthy game to add to your collection because the mechanics are sound. Unfortunately, the dispenser (even in this version) is fiddly and does not reliably feed marbles onto the track. More often than not they get stuck in the hopper requiring a hefty jostle or stir of the pot to get them to come out. You have to develop a touch for this because if you are too hasty it is possible for the marbles already in the track to pop out. Fortunately you are often picking blind and can use this opportunity to stir.

Enjoyable engine builder with nice components.

Gizmos is my most played game since getting it. It's quick enough that most people I have played with don't mind playing multiple games back to back. We love the combos that are possible in this game and depending on how the cards come out, it's a lot of fun to try out new combinations.

Fairly quick with lots of replayability , definitely recommend.
