Spot it!

Test your observational skills and your reflexes with the award-winning gameplay of Spot It!, a game of lightning-fast choices for two to eight players. With dozens of awards and possible versions married to elegant gameplay, Spot It! has become a global phenomenon. Five distinct mini-games within a set of Spot It! ensure that the game will be different every time you play, and because it’s always your turn, there’s never any downtime!

There’s Only One Match

No matter which version of Spot It! you’re enjoying, the basic principle remains the same. Each set of Spot It! contains a wide variety of circular cards. Each of these cards has eight different symbols. For example, in the base Spot It! game, one card may have symbols that show a spider, a snowman, a clown, a lightning bolt, a target, an anchor, a stop sign, and a pair of sunglasses.

Each of these circular cards has exactly one of its symbols in common with each other card in the game. No matter which mini-game you play in your game of Spot It!, the heart of the game will be trying to find the one common symbol shared between two cards. For each Spot It! mini-game, players don’t pause to take turns—it’s everybody’s turn, all the time. You’ll need to be quick as well as observant if you plan to win.

From this simple mechanic, every game of Spot It! offers countless variations with five distinct mini-games to test your observation and pattern-finding abilities. You may choose to play The Tower mini-game, for example. In this mini-game, each player starts with one card facedown in front of them. All the other cards are placed in a stack between the players. The top card of the stack is revealed, and then, at the same time, all of the players reveal their cards. If you're the first player to find the matching symbol between your card and the card on top of the stack, you can call out the name of the symbol and claim the card, placing it on top of your first card and revealing a new card from the stack. When the stack has been depleted, whichever player has the most cards wins the mini-game!
