HOW TO DEAL DOBBLE

For the basic rule (Infernal Tower):

1. Deal a card to each player and keep it face down.
2. Place the remaining cards in the middle. They will form the deck.

1. Dobble (also called Spot It!), is a card game that uses special circular cards, each with a number (8 in the standard pack, 6 in the kids pack) of symbols or image. There are various ways to play, but they all the games involve finding which symbol is common to two cards.
2. Oct 07, 2016 Dobble is a card-based game that will help your child increase their observation skills and their working memory (which will, in turn, help with self-control and concentration). The basis of the game is a set of fifty-five cards, each of which has eight symbols on it of varying sizes.

HOW TO PLAY DOBBLE

The goal is to discover the only identical symbol between two cards. The symbols are identical (same shape, same colour, only the size varies). There is always one and only one symbol in common between any pair of cards in the game.

All players play at the same time. No matter which variant is played, you must always:

1. be the fastest to locate the identical symbol between 2 maps,
2. name it out loud
3. then (depending on the variant), take the card, put it down or discard it.

The rules below are for the mostly played variant of Dobble, called The Infernal Tower.

Aim of the game:
Collect as many cards as possible.

Gameplay:

• As soon as the game starts, players turn over their cards.
• Each player must then find the identical symbol between their card and the card in the centre of the table (on the draw pile).
• If a player finds an identical symbol, he
  • names it,
  • takes possession of the card concerned
  • places it in front of him, on his card.
• By taking this card, he reveals a new card.

HOW TO WIN

• The game stops when all the cards in the deck have been acquired by the players.
• The winner is the player with the most cards.

Enjoy! 😊

VARIATIONS

The well

1. Setup: Deal all the cards between the players, one by one. Place the last card on the table, face up. Each player shuffles his or her cards to form a deck in front of him or her, face down.
2. Goal: get rid of all your cards before the others, and above all, don’t be the last one!
3. How to play: Players flip their deck over, face up. You must discard the top card from your draw pile by placing it on the centre card. The player who is quickest to name a symbol shared by his card and the centre card can place his card in the centre. You have to be very quick, because the centre card changes each time a player places his or her card in the centre.
4. Game end: The player who discards all his cards first wins the game, the last one to do so loses the game.

Dobble Card Game Exclusive Edition

1. Setup: at each round, deal one card per player, who keeps it in his hand, face down, without looking at it. The remaining cards are put aside and will be used for the following rounds.
2. Goal: to get rid of your card faster than the other players.
3. How to play: Players reveal their card by placing it flat in their hand, so that each symbol is clearly visible. As soon as a player finds the symbol shared by his card and another’s, he names it and places his card on the opponent’s card. The latter must now use his new card to continue playing. If he can find a symbol shared by his new card and another player’s card, he gives all his cards at once.
