Dobble

I’ve attached a falsely calm and misleading video of my kids playing Dobble. They absolute love this game and will play the many variations for ages - and we’ve had it for years and it still comes out often. They were on the best behaviour and were playing very slowly as they knew I was filming. It usually gets fast and intense pretty quickly. Watching them play it with their grandparents is hilarious as it’s such a simply game but is so tricky as well. There are so many things about this game our family loves. Firstly this game is super compact. It is just a small tin so it can easily be kept in a drawer or a cupboard in a handy spot just to pull out and play whenever. It could be taken in a handbag or back pack or carry on luggage. It requires virtually no set up and can be played in the smallest of places. There are clear directions with 7 (I believe) game variations. They all have the same premis, find the one picture on your card that is also on another card. It is so simple yet sometimes can be so tricky to spot. Each variation changes it slightly, there are some that we prefer more than others and really just two ways we play the most often. Any age can play this game as well. Our youngest child right up through their grandparents all find this game fun and even challenging at times. Sometimes it even seems like younger eyes spot the items even quicker. Our little one loves that she can beat her older siblings at times, and even her parents. It really is an even playing field. We have had this game for years and it comes out randomly and we have yet to tire of it. We actually have just bought the Star Wars version now as well and also many other variations as gifts for others. One of the most highly recommended games we own, and we own quite an amount!

Very simple but so much fun. The whole family loves it when this one comes out. Very fast paced, brings out the competitiveness in all of us. A little tip for any sibling arguments as to who called out the correct answer first. If if was a close one then resort to rock paper scissors and move on! We found this has stopped the arguments!

Purchased on a pre Xmas whim to freshen up the games options during the break. Great call - simplicity and ease of play. All cards have one overlapping/common picture - all you have to do is match up & call it out - seems simple but beware, can get fast & furious with a few players !!, so good fun. Number of variants for gameplay also, so you can play the same core game in a number of play options which is good - plenty of short guides on YouTube to show you the way. Bought this set for my own family (teenagers +), but ended up buying 2 different sets for friends younger kids (kids versions has numbers and easier shapes to match up) & the younger kids loved it also. Games are short & quick which is good, so useful as a gap filler but won’t drag out. Despite its simplicity in concept, can be testing on the brain to see what’s directly in front of you, which adds to the fun. Would recommend to be added to the family game stock, and easy to carry cards in the can provided. Can see this one in the holiday bag, with Quirkle and Skyjo…

Asmodee's Dobble Card Game has become a staple in our family game nights, offering a dynamic and engaging experience that transcends age barriers. Here's a detailed review, featuring the pros and cons of this delightful card game: **Pros:** 1. **Speedy and Exciting Gameplay:** Dobble lives up to its reputation as a game of speed, observation, and reflexes. The race to find the one matching image between cards injects an exhilarating pace into each round, ensuring that players stay engaged throughout the 15-minute playing time. 2. **Variety of Mini Games:** The inclusion of five mini games, namely "Fill The Well," "The Towering Inferno," "Hot Potato," "Catch Them All," and "The Poisoned Gift," adds a layer of versatility to the gameplay. This variety keeps the experience fresh, preventing monotony and inviting players to explore different challenges within the same deck. 3. **Universal Appeal:** Dobble's reliance on visual perception and quick reactions rather than knowledge or strategy makes it universally appealing. There's no advantage for adults over children, making it an ideal family game. The diverse themes, including Animals, Camping, 123, and beloved characters like Harry Potter and Elsa, broaden its appeal across various age groups. 4. **Compact and Portable:** The pocket-sized tin housing Dobble makes it an excellent travel companion. Its simplicity to learn and quick playtime make it an ideal game for parties, family gatherings, or on-the-go entertainment. The compact design ensures you can take the fun anywhere. 5. **Endless Variations:** With every card being unique and having only one symbol in common with any other in the deck, Dobble offers endless variations. The varying sizes and positions of symbols on each card add an element of challenge, making each game session feel fresh and unpredictable. **Cons:** 1. **Packaging Variability:** The product may come in either the original packaging or a new eco-packaging variant. While the core game remains the same, some users might prefer consistency in packaging. It's a minor consideration but worth noting for those who have a preference. 2. **Not Ideal for Strategy Enthusiasts:** If you're seeking a game with deep strategic elements, Dobble might not fully satisfy that craving. Its strength lies in quick reactions and observation, making it more of a fast-paced, light-hearted experience. In conclusion, Asmodee's Dobble Card Game is a must-have addition to any game collection. Its universal appeal, speedy gameplay, and diverse themes make it a go-to choice for family gatherings, parties, or casual play. Whether you're 6 or 60, Dobble offers a consistently enjoyable and accessible gaming experience that transcends age boundaries.

It was a very fun game for a family play. It contains five games you can play, obviously it comes with instructions and overall we liked it. It could be cheaper though recommended for 6-10years

Bought this for my wife as she likes basic games like UNO and is competitive as hell. To my horror she also destroys me almost every time we play. My eyesight isn't the best but when she's shouting out the names of the objects on the cards as she slams them down, it's like I'm blinded. The cards become a blur and I start to imply she's cheating as she can't possiblly be faster at matching up two snowmen than I am. The more she speaks the more my brain freezes and I wonder whether the years of marriage have somehow programmed my brain to shutdown. Maybe I'm a walkover. Maybe I give up to easy. Maybe my own competitiveness consumes me like a straight jacket. All I know is, there will be many more defeats to come as I stubbornly expose myself to a relentless wave of igloo's ladybugs and treble clefts that mock me as I stare them straight in the face. If you back yourself and want to destroy your partners life you should definitely get this game.

Brilliant game. Such a simple concept but so much fun. We get very loud and rowdy when playing. I’ve bought as gifts for friends as love playing it.

Fun and easy for a group to understand and play!

Das Spiel habe ich mit meinen Kolleginnen gespielt. Daher musste ich es direkt kaufen. Es animiert den Kopf und man muss aufpassen,daß man die Symbole gleich fi det/sieht. Ist gar nicht so einfach,wenn man wild durcheinander ruft. Macht wirklich sehr viel Spaß.

My friends brought this game with them, and it was so much fun I had to buy it right away. It has lots of different ways to play, so you can play for ages and not get bored. Good for up to 6 people, all ages. The seller was incredibly fast. Great purchase, very pleased.

El juego es magnífico, divertido y fácil, a la vez que se ejercita la memoria y rapidez. La única pega que encuentro es que las instrucciones de los juegos no están en español, esto me va a limitar a la hora de comprar otro juego, porque este juego lo compré porque unos primos nuestros lo tenían y nos enganchó, pero no volveré a pedir ningún otro porque las instrucciones no vienen en castellano.

Jeux rapide, amusant et qui stimule l’attention

Quick, Fun, and Great for All Ages This is a fast-paced, engaging game that's a hit with both kids and adults.
