Goblin Teeth is a dice game for 2-5 players. You play as a goblin, bidding on valuable goblin items with goblin dice and using goblin Cheat cards from your goblin hand to gain advantages over the other goblin players. The round ends when everyone has placed all of their dice; each Item is awarded to the goblin who bid the most for it. Be the first to complete an Offering for the Big Boss to win!
If, at the end of a round, a player has acquired all of the Items to complete any one of the 3 Offering cards (6-Item, A, or B), the game ends and they win!
