Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Abstract Microgames — A collection of five abstract micro games played using a common set of components.
- Area Control — Players move their Jabbawockeez around the grid and draw gems towards them, eject gems from Jabbawockeez onto their cards, or expel opponent's gems from cards where they have an overall majority.
- Map making — Player places a map card into a growing 4x4 grid and moves gems into and around the map.
- Negotiation — Players discuss how many gems they will commit to the hand, and if the total is lower than the dealer's cards, players score their committed gems. If equal or higher, the dealer takes all gems and players negotiate to individually play gems without pushing it too high.
- Puzzle — Player begins with an empty 3x3 grid of cards and exchanges one card from hand with one from the table adding or removing gems.
- Set Collection — A player aims to have at least one matching colored gem on a card and as many cards as possible containing a matching number of gems.
