Gobs of Games is a compilation of fourteen puzzle games under four categories: Peg Games, Paper Games, Puzzles and Board Games.

'Paper Games' include variations on dots and boxes, hangman and tic tac toe. 'Puzzle Games' involve Scramble, a slide puzzle game, and Move It, a game similar to Sokoban. Board Games include checkers.

Reception
Gobs of Games received mixed reception from critics, who questioned the desirability of a title containing games that could easily be played on pen and paper. Writing for IGN, Craig Harris stated that as "most of the games...can easily be played with a pen and paper, to expect folks shell out 30 bucks per player is a little absurd." Nick Woods of Allgame concurred, stating "you can simply draw the games on paper," whilst noting the games "offer enough diversity to keep you coming back, and the option to play against a friend adds to the replay value."
