Operating Instructions: How to Play
The objective of Spot It! is to be the first player to spot the identical symbol between two cards. There is always exactly one matching symbol between any two cards.
- Start the Round: Simultaneously, all players flip their dealt card face up. The top card of the central draw pile is also flipped face up.
- Spot the Match: Players race to find the one symbol that appears on both their personal card and the central face-up card.
- Claim the Card: The first player to correctly identify the matching symbol and call out its name claims the central face-up card. This card then becomes their new personal card.
- Continue Play: A new card is immediately flipped from the central draw pile to replace the one just taken. Play continues with players finding matches between their new personal card and the new central card.
- End of Game: The game ends when the central draw pile is exhausted. The player with the most cards collected wins.
