Dobble is a card game that the whole family can play. It is suitable for 2-8 players, aged 6+ and has a playing time of 5-15 minutes. It is a game of observation and speed, very similar to Snap, but much more challenging and certainly more fun.
Dobble is a card game but rather than using standard size rectangle cards it uses circular cards. It has 55 circular cards to be exact. The cards come in their own handy little travel tin so that it can be taken and played anywhere. It has five mini-games in one tin, but they are all variations on the same theme. Are you observant and fast enough to be victorious?
Dobble is a strange name, isn’t it? It is a play on the word Double – which gives you an idea what the game is about. Like Snap, it is a game of observation. In Snap, you play by laying down cards with an image or number on them and players must match two to win the cards. Dobble is similar, but different. Every card has a variety of images on them, but every two cards have ONE symbol in common, all you must do is be the first to find and match them to win the card. There are 57 symbols in total, and you must be fast enough to spot the matching pair.
Each Dobble card features eight different colourful images on it, in various sizes. If you look at any two cards, they will have one, and only one, matching image on them. Players must be eagle-eyed enough to spot the two matching images on the card and the draw card and call it before anyone else. It is a game of speed and observation which tests your visual perception, pattern recognition, and reflexes.
