Spot it! Manuals & User Guides

Spot it! (γνωστό και ως Dobble) is an award-winning pattern recognition card game that tests speed, observation, and reflexes. Originally published as Dobble in Europe, the game is now a global phenomenon under the Zygomatic studio and Asmodee Group.

The standard deck consists of 55 cards, each decorated with 8 distinct symbols. Through a unique mathematical structure, there is always exactly one matching symbol between any two cards in the deck. This simple yet clever mechanic allows for frenetic gameplay where speed is key.

Spot it! frequently collaborates with major franchises to release themed editions, including versions featuring characters from Bluey, Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars, as well as educational versions for younger children.
