About the Game

Ion Award Winner 2023 Ciutat de Granollers 2024 Semi-Finalist BostonFIG 2025 Finalist Hippodice 2026 Semi-Finalist

In Gumball World, you are a teenager who has just been hired for their first part time job at a candy store! Sounds pretty chill, right? Not with Mr. Gimble running things! You only get paid for filling the gumball machines in the way that Gimble insists and lose money if even one gumball is out of place.

You will fill your gumball machine over multiple rounds where you will draft gumballs and fulfill cards.

You will take turns fulfilling cards with one or more gumballs matching specific patterns that Gimble approves of. One two stacks of the four cards are gone or there aren't enough gumballs to draft, the game ends at the end of the round. Also, bribe Mr. Gimble with quarters to gain powerful special abilities that allow you to steal gumballs, take extra during the draft, make any color a wild or score a card if gumballs fall into a scoring area of a card due to gravity! As you fill your gumball machine, you must follow specific gravity rules. Do you want to fill the sides and bottom first to create a nice base for the rest? Or do you want to build up the middle and leave the sides for gumballs that are harder to place?
