I love Asmodee games, they are great for games that involve interaction, fun and excitement. Last year, they teamed up with Scout Store to develop a new range. Scout Store, are a subsidiary of the Scout Association in the UK. To find out more, click on the following link:-

Everyone loves a game of cards and especially snap. Remember as a child, you used to see who could match 2 of the same cards the quickest. Well Dobble Scouts Game is that and much, much more, with an amazing amount of fun.

You can not beat a bit of interactive play with the family and children…. I know I and my family do and the Asmodee Dobble Scouts game will get everyone going. It is a fantastic way to train your brain, interact, test your skills all whilst learning at the same time. What a great way too of making a simple game educational, especially for children, it makes it fun all at the same time.

I love the fact that the cards come in a small compact tin, making it great for travelling, whether in the car, train or aeroplane.

HOW TO PLAY
Would you believe it, there are actually 5 different ways to play the Dobble Scouts game, so, effectively, it’s a 5 in 1 game, how amazing is that.

Here are the 5 ways you can play the game:-

Aim to put as many cards as you can in the middle of another players stack of cards
Try and collect as many cards as you can for a set of 9
Be the first to get rid of all your cards in the middle
You can throw your card onto another player
Aim to be the first in collecting as many cards as you can from the middle stack of cards

The objective of the games is to be the first to find the 2 matching symbols and shout then out, for example, if you see 2 torches, be as quick as you can to shout out ‘Torch’. It takes a lot of eye co-ordination, observation, reflexes and lots of speed to be the fastest player to match the 2 symbols.

There will always be only 1 matching symbol between 2 cards. Test your skills of speed and see how quickly you can match 2 symbols.

Some of the symbols that can be found are:-
Paw
Sign post
Torch
Compass
Whistle
Mug
Binoculars

COLOURS
There are a number of bright, vibrant and bold colours such as:-

Brown
Green
Orange
Yellow

COMPESITION

NUMBER OF PLAYERS

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PLAY A GAME
The time on the box says 15 minutes but this will depend on how quick or slow you play. We found it took a bit longer with the younger children, they were aged 9-12 and the older ones who were 14-17, it was much quicker to play. Either way, it is a manic and frantic game to play with so much fun, laughter, we even cried tears.

55 cards and there are 8 different symbols on each of them.

RATING: 
5/5

  It is a fast pace and brilliant game to play with the children, especially with the summer school holidays and having lots of time to spare with them. I loved the fact the children really got into it. We had so much fun and would recommend it for any family.
