Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

• dexterity — This is a weird, real-time kind of dexterity, kind of paying attention to everything going on sort of game... makes Grabbell unique, fun, and for me yet another vibrant, colorful hit from CMYK. This is one of those absolutely multi-purpose games in my opinion because on bonafide game nights where we play a lot of serious games, I pulled Grabble out and it is just a great laugh before, in the middle, after, a cool down game, whatever.
• Hidden Information — keeping them hidden behind your hand or arm.
• Push Your Luck — The funny moments around the table, the weird little moments that feel like bluffing and push your luck, all for what is ultimately a speed dexterity-like game
• Real-Time — This is a weird, real-time kind of dexterity, kind of paying attention to everything going on sort of game... You are playing a real-time speed game collecting pieces...
• Set Collection — gathering to fill up your little metal cups. And as everyone is as quickly as possible frantically grabbing these pieces and putting them in their cups, you may be trying to get a bit of a diversity in what you're picking up...

Quotes (from this video)

• CMYK is no stranger to bringing some unfettered, over the top, silly fun to the hobby game night table.
• And now today we're talking about Grabble, which is a reimagination of the hidden game Nuts to Go-Go.
• It is a party game at the end of the day.
• And I'm absolutely fascinated by this because the game itself is really, really ridiculous.
• However, there are some interesting kind of tactics in the madness here with this game because in Grabbell, it's actually a lot harder than it looks to, as quickly as possible, be reaching in and out of that box, grabbing only one piece at a time...
• It's a very wild 35 seconds followed by, again, a little bit of mind games, trying to figure out, wait a minute, did I see if they got this piece? Is this a safe lead?
• And that's such the weird thing about this game is, really, it's a box full of bits and bobs that you are trying to nab and the different sizes, shapes, materials kind of really can throw you off in the moment while you're playing, tricking yourself into thinking it's something that you haven't taken you or you have taken, picking up things, dropping things, accidentally grabbing two.
• You can play the whole game in a minute and a half and you will immediately want to run it back cuz you want to see how it could have been done differently.
• This is one of those absolutely multi-purpose games in my opinion because on bonafide game nights where we play a lot of serious games, I pulled Grabble out and it is just a great laugh before, in the middle, after, a cool down game, whatever.
• Don't judge a book by its cover.
• And don't forget to play all your games like an animal.
