Reception

Russell Grant Collins reviewed Globbo in Space Gamer No. 70.[1] Collins commented that "If you have the magazine version of Globbo, the only things from this version that you're missing are the nifty red printing used for emphasis in the text, a few more Globbo-related illustrations, and two new extras from section IX [...] This may not be enough to convince you to buy the game again, though the larger map and pieces are nice too. If you don't have the magazine game and you enjoy strange games, run (don't walk) to get it."[1]

Mike Lewis reviewed Globbo! for Imagine magazine, and stated that "It is difficult to rate Globbo! as a game; it is fun to play and the rules are extremely funny to read through, but will the humour last or will the game pall after a few plays? However, I don't think the game is designed for anything more than laughs, and it succeeds admirably in its aims."[2]
