Dobble

Dobble is a speed-based card game originally released in 2009 and marketed in Europe under the name Dobble and in North America as Spot It!. It was developed and published by a French designer and a publisher known for family and party games. The game uses a deck of circular cards, each displaying multiple symbols. A defining feature is that any two cards in the deck share exactly one symbol, which underpins the core gameplay.

In the standard play, a central card is placed face-up and each player holds a card from their hand. When the round begins, players race to identify the symbol that appears on both their own card and the center card. The first player to name the matching symbol takes the center card and replaces it with a new one from the deck. The game continues until all cards have been won. The winner is the player with the most cards. Dobble supports 2 to 8 players and emphasizes quick, reflexive play suitable for families and casual settings.

Variants and editions: The game includes several mini-games that reuse the same symbol-matching concept but alter competition rules or setup. Editions vary in the number of symbols per card and overall deck size, though the fundamental property—one shared symbol between any two cards—remains constant. Dobble has inspired numerous licensed versions, spin-offs, and digital adaptations, maintaining a strong presence in family and party game collections.
