July 2025
Gremlins, Inc. is a digital board game that blends cutthroat strategy, unpredictable luck, and steampunk aesthetics into a highly engaging and competitive experience. Developed by Charlie Oscar, the game invites players into the corrupt world of gremlins—mechanically inclined creatures with a taste for politics, bribes, and backstabbing. With its Victorian-industrial setting, intricate systems, and richly layered gameplay, Gremlins, Inc. offers a refreshing alternative to traditional board and card games, especially for players who enjoy scheming as much as strategizing. At its core, Gremlins, Inc. plays out on a circular, interconnected board filled with specialized locations—such as the Bank, the Court, the Dump, and Jail—each offering unique actions and opportunities. Players move their character around the board by playing cards, which double as movement options and usable actions. This dual-purpose card system adds constant tension to every decision: use a card to move, or save it for its powerful effect? Because each card offers both a movement range and a potential ability, planning turns becomes a balancing act between efficiency and long-term strategy. The goal of the game is to accumulate the most points before the match ends, which can be achieved through various means—building powerful gadgets, manipulating elections, collecting bribes, stealing from others, or outright sending opponents to Jail. This wide range of strategies ensures that no two matches play out the same way. You might dominate a game through relentless resource gathering and infrastructure building in one session, then win the next through political manipulation and strategic sabotage. It’s a game that rewards adaptability and punishes predictability. Gremlins, Inc. thrives in multiplayer, where every interaction becomes personal. Temporary alliances, betrayals, revenge plays, and well-timed mischief are part of the game’s appeal. Whether you're stealing from a rival just before they reach the Bank or sending them to Jail when they’re about to score a big payoff, the game is filled with moments of gleeful treachery. Despite being rooted in randomness—due to the card draw and event system—the game rarely feels unfair. The mechanics give players ample tools to recover, retaliate, or completely change their strategy mid-game. The visual presentation is richly detailed, with a gritty steampunk flair that enhances the setting’s personality. The character portraits, event cards, and animated board all contribute to a darkly whimsical atmosphere, where corruption and ambition are part of daily life. The soundtrack adds to this mood with an ominous yet playful tone that underscores the constant scheming. The interface can be overwhelming at first, especially for new players unfamiliar with the game’s depth, but with a few matches under your belt, the systems begin to feel intuitive and rewarding. The game also includes a robust single-player experience with challenges, AI skirmishes, and ranked multiplayer ladders. While playing against AI opponents is decent for learning mechanics, the real magic of the game lies in human interactions—outwitting a friend or watching a calculated plan unravel because of someone else’s sabotage creates stories that keep players coming back. The developers have also kept the game active with occasional updates, balancing tweaks, and a thoughtful tutorial system that eases new players into the game’s many layers. Gremlins, Inc. is not for everyone. Its slow pacing, high-stakes backstabbing, and long match times can frustrate those looking for quick or purely skill-based gameplay. There's a learning curve to understanding how to optimize cards, read opponents, and react to the board’s evolving state. But for players who appreciate games that embrace chaos while still allowing deep strategy, Gremlins, Inc. is an outstanding and memorable experience. It’s a rare board game adaptation that fully capitalizes on digital tools to deliver an experience that would be difficult to replicate at the tabletop. In the end, Gremlins, Inc. succeeds because it commits to its theme and systems wholeheartedly. Every action feels like it belongs in the world of crooked gremlins and steam-powered intrigue, and every match is a story of ambition, betrayal, and clever maneuvering. Whether you’re building machines or tearing down rivals, the game encourages bold plays and punishes complacency. For fans of strategy, political games, and underhanded tactics, it’s a gem worth digging into. Rating: 7/10

One of my favorite games of all time I will never get enough of Gremlins Inc. If UNO has the potential to destroy relationships it definitely took this game as a blueprint XD. All jokes aside it is always a fun time challenging yourself to win a game of ranked or trying for a challenge against the bots. Cannot recommend this enough! Props to the devs for creating this absolute gem!
