The smartest minds of our generation are gathering together at the Great Science Fair. Everyone’s been working hard on their creations, but only one will be crowned champion. Contestants have to think on the fly to build their machines quickly and efficiently. Whose project will be the best?
In Gizmos, you want to build engines — engines within the game to get things done faster. Using the four types of energy marbles, plucked from the 3D marble dispenser, you purchase and construct new additions to your works. As you build, new attachments can trigger chain reactions, letting you do even more on your turn. Whoever builds the greatest machine and collects the most victory points wins!

Probably overrating this to start. I can enjoy a nice, quick snowball. This does the trick, and also presses some MTG-like buttons with how many triggered responses there are to manage on a given turn. Similar to Splendor, but just enough oomph to make it more interesting in both gameplay and physical appeal for me.

Fun, fast light/filler game. It is possible for someone to get a great combo working and run away with the game.

Gismos feels like a lighter version of Terraforming Mars in terms of an engine builder. A card-and-marble engine building game where you can chain/domino abilities. The marbles might initially think of a kid's game, but there is a good bit of strategy to make an efficient engine work towards earning you points and not just spinning its wheels. Terraforming Mars feels like it is a more mature game with more depth, but Gizmos is easier to get to the table for a family. If you enjoy engine builders, Gizmos is a great addition as a lightweight introductory game that will still be fun after the initial play.
