How do you play Gobbler?

One player controls two "gobblers" who are attempting to eat as many of the other player's sixty "littles" as possible before they scurry out of their reach. Any number of littles may occupy a space on an 8x8 board and they will automatically disperse one space away from a gobbler when it lands on an adjacent space.
