RULES FOR THE DOBBLE (SPOT IT) CARD GAME
If you’re a fan of the “Dobble” (or “Spot It”) card game or looking for a fun and engaging game to play, you’ve come to the right place. Today, I want to introduce you to the rules of this exciting and fast-paced game. By following these rules, you’ll be able to enjoy hours of entertainment with friends and family.
So, what is Dobble, and why is it so popular? Dobble, also known as Spot It, is a game that tests your observation and visual perception skills. The goal is to find matching symbols between cards as quickly as possible. Every card in the deck has several symbols, and there is always one and only one matching symbol between any two cards.
Here’s how the game works:
First, you’ll need to gather all the players and the Dobble deck. The deck consists of several circular cards, each containing multiple symbols. The number of symbols may vary, but the principle remains the same: only one symbol matches between any two cards in the deck.
Next, you’ll need to shuffle the deck thoroughly to ensure a random distribution of symbols on the cards. Once the deck is shuffled, the game can begin.
The game is played in rounds, and each round consists of one or more mini-games. In each mini-game, the players are dealt one card each, facing up in the middle of the table. All players, including myself, have to observe the symbols on their card and quickly find the matching symbol between their card and the one in the middle.
As soon as you find the matching symbol, you have to shout it out loud and point to both cards to confirm your finding. If your observation is correct, you get to keep the card that was in the middle. Then, a new card is placed in the middle, and the process is repeated.
The mini-game ends when there are no more cards left in the deck or when all the players have exhausted their cards. At the end of each mini-game, players count the number of cards they have collected. The player with the most cards is declared the winner of that mini-game.
Overall, the player who collects the most cards throughout the rounds is declared the ultimate winner of the game. It’s important to note that Dobble is a game that requires speed and keen observation skills. The faster you are at finding the matching symbol, the better your chances of winning.
So, are you ready to take on the challenge and become the champion of Dobble? Gather your friends and family, shuffle that deck, and let the fun begin! Remember, in Dobble, it’s not just about winning; it’s also about having a great time with your loved ones.

Introducing “The Well”
- Step 1 – Setup: To start the game, deal all the cards between the players, one by one. Then, place the last card on the table, facing up. Each player should shuffle their cards to create a deck in front of them, with the images facing down.
- Step 2 – Goal: The objective of the game is to get rid of all your cards before the other players. Remember, the most important thing is to avoid being the last one holding cards!
How to Play
Here’s how we play: I flip my deck over, face up, and discard the top card from my draw pile by placing it on the center card. Now the fun part! I have to be super quick and try to name a symbol that is shared by my card and the center card. If I’m the fastest, I can place my card in the center pile. But watch out! The center card changes every time a player adds their card to the pile. So, speed is essential!
End of Game
The game ends when a player has discarded all their cards. That player is the winner! The player who is the last to discard all their cards is the loser.
The Poisoned Gift
Now, let’s set up the game. We shuffle the cards and place one face-down card in front of each player. The remaining cards are placed in the middle to form the draw pile, face up.
Goal
The goal of the game is to collect as few cards as possible from the deck. You want to be strategic and avoid adding too many cards to your collection.
I have a fun game for you called “Catch Them All.” Let’s dive in and learn how to play!
How to Play
First, we each turn over our cards. The goal is to find the same symbol between your card and the one in the middle. When you spot a match, you name it and take the middle card, placing it on top of yours. This also reveals a new card from the deck.
End of Game
We keep playing until there are no more cards left in the deck. The winner is the person with the fewest cards at the end.
Catch Them All
This game is played in several rounds. Here’s how to set it up:
- At the start of each round, place one card face up in the middle. Then, take the remaining cards and place them face down around the central card.
- The goal of the game is to collect as many cards as you can before the other players.
Now that you know how to play “Catch Them All,” get ready to have some fun! Remember, the player with the fewest cards at the end is the winner. Enjoy!
Let’s Play a Game!
Hey there! I’ve got a fun game for you – it’s called “Hot Potato”. Let me tell you how to play!
How to Play: Start by flipping over all the cards around the center card. Your mission is to spot a symbol that’s on both the center card and one of the surrounding cards. As soon as you find a match, shout out the name of the symbol and grab the card (but watch out, don’t touch the center card!).
End of the Game: Once all the cards have been collected (except for the center card), put the center card back in the deck and get ready for another round. Keep all the cards you’ve won so far! The game is over when there are no more cards left to play a new round. The winner is the player with the most cards in their collection.
Let’s Get Started – The Hot Potato!
We’re going to play this game in multiple rounds. Are you ready? Let’s have some fun!
In this game, each round begins with dealing one card to each player. Remember to keep your card face down and not to peek at it! The rest of the cards are set aside and will be used in the upcoming rounds. The goal of the game is simple: be the first to get rid of your card.
Here’s how you play: everyone reveals their card by placing it flat in their hand, making sure all the symbols are clearly visible. Pay close attention, because as soon as you spot a symbol that matches yours and another player’s card, you need to name it and place your card on top of theirs. Now it’s their turn to find a matching symbol on their new card and someone else’s. If they succeed, they have to give away all their cards at once!
The game continues like this, with players strategically placing their cards on top of others’ until someone manages to get rid of all their cards. It’s a race against time to see who can find those matching symbols the fastest.
Remember, the key to winning is to stay focused and keep an eye out for those shared symbols. So gather your friends, shuffle the cards, and get ready for a thrilling game of matching and quick reflexes. Good luck!
- The End of the Game: In this game, the person who has all the cards at the end loses. They have to put those cards on the table in front of them. We play five or more rounds, and when we run out of cards, the game is over. The person with the most cards is the loser.
