Spot It – Speed matching fun


Spot It
Quick spotting fun.
Spot It is a fantastic card game for your family!
(How quick is that for a review? Too quick, then read on for a little more.)

Spot It is a quick card game that only takes a minute or two to play and is all about spotting the image that matches on two cards before everyone else does. The tricky thing is that for any two cards in the deck, 1 and only 1 item will match. That’s great game design!

It may sound super simple, but that’s what makes it so enjoyable for families to play together. People of all ages can play it and enjoy it.

Check out Brooke’s video review to see how to play Spot It and what she thinks of the game.

Can the whole family enjoy Spot It?

Spot It
Tons of images to match.
Spot It is great for families.

Because of the simple play and the type of art on the cards, you may think that it’s just a kids game. But you’d be wrong. Playing with adults is a lot of fun too because of how competitive people become as soon as the cards are turned over.

Since there’s multiple ways to play it, you can find the one that your family likes best. And if you have some in your family that are super spotters and seem to always win, then you simply adjust the starting conditions to balance it out until the others improve in their spotting capabilities.

More about the cards

Spot It
Only 1 common image per pair.
The design of the cards it perhaps the coolest thing about the game. With 55 round cards in the deck, each with 8 images on it, and 58 total assorted images it’s amazing that on any 2 cards there will only be 1 item that matches. Every card is unique, and has only one image in common with each card in the deck. We still scratch our heads about it, but not for very long because we jump right back to playing.

The deck packs into a compact tin that you can carry with you practically anywhere. And you don’t need much space to play it at all. Plus it plays so quick that it’s easy to pull out when you have a few extra minutes with your kids. It can even make a great bedtime game. Of course, we’d suggest you make it clear how many rounds you’re going to play before you start because it will be easy to get carried away.

Spot ItHow does Spot It score on our “Let’s Play Again” game meter?
Spot It scores very high on our “Let’s play again” game meter. The simplicity of it brings us back for more quite often. And once it’s out, it’s so easy to play over and over. We’ll leave it out on the table and it will get played repeatedly – a few minutes here, a few minutes there.

Thanks Blue Orange Games for a great family card game!

  • My son and I recently discovered that our Spot It game actually has some duplicate cards! It was crazy. Must have been a mistake at the factory?

    • Ian – What a strange thing to discover. I’m guessing pretty unique, but strange. I’d recommend reaching out to the company about it to see if you can get a replacement.
