How to play Dobble - Spot it (Dobble - Spot it rules)

In the scenario called "The Towering Inferno", you shuffle the cards, one card is placed face-down in front of each player. Then a card is drawn from the pile and placed face-up in the middle of the table. Whoever spots the detail that their card and the drawn card have in common, pockets away the card. The player who collects the most cards in the course of the game, is the ultimate winner!
On the contrary, in the "Hot Potato" mini-game scenario, the goal is to get rid of your cards. Here, all players are dealt a card, which they place face-down. Then the players reveal their cards at the same time, and the first one to spot an identical detail between their card and the card of one of their fellow players, passes their card off to them. This mini-game can be played through a multitude of rounds – you can set the number before you start. Whoever has the least cards at the end of the very last round, wins the game.
The Dobble - Spot it Print and Play demo version of the game is a lighter one. It has fewer cards and fewer symbols, and is meant to be played with fewer players.
