What it is

A pattern-spotting race for 2 to 8, perfect for kids, grandparents and anyone with a few spare minutes. The deck has 55 cards with eight symbols each, and clever math means any two cards match on exactly one symbol. Spot the match and call it out before anyone else. Sold as Dobble in Europe, it grew out of a 1976 insect-card game by Jacques Cottereau.

What we love

  • Any two cards always share exactly one symbol
  • Almost nothing to teach
  • Young players can beat adults

Honest trade-offs

  • No strategy at all, just speed
  • Quick eyes dominate, so one player can run away with it
  • Sold as Dobble outside North America, so check you are not buying it twice
