How to play Quick Spot

1
You have a round card with eight symbols, and so does the middle of the table.
2
Any two cards share exactly one symbol. Spot it and tap it before anyone else.
3
Win the middle card and it becomes your new card. Most cards when the pile runs out wins.

Full Quick Spot rules

The cards

•
Every round card shows eight symbols, drawn at different sizes and angles.
•
Any two cards in the deck share exactly one symbol — never zero, never two.

The race

•
You hold one card face up; one more sits in the middle of the table.
•
Everyone plays at once. Find the symbol your card shares with the middle card and tap it.
•
First correct tap wins the middle card: it lands on your pile and becomes your new card. A new middle card is turned up straight away.

No guessing

•
Tap a symbol that is not on both cards and you are frozen for two seconds.
•
If someone else gets there first, your tap simply arrives too late — no penalty.

Winning

•
The middle pile holds 30 cards. When the last one is won, the game ends.
•
Whoever won the most cards wins. Ties share the win.

Tips to win at Quick Spot

•
Do not scan your card symbol by symbol: look at the centre card as a whole and let the shared one jump out.
•
Symbols change size and angle: a huge anchor on one card can be tiny on the other.
•
Do not tap blindly: a wrong tap freezes you for two seconds, and in a three-minute game that is a lot.
•
Being late costs nothing, so tap as soon as you are sure.
