The more players the more problems. Sometimes the cards don't even show anything. It is hard to delineate which card is the one being drawn vs the other players. Even with the zoom in feature. Overall my first game was fun, but the other 4 games I have attempted have been buggy with cards just showing up blank or overlapping each other.

I have been trying to play this game in the Arena, and it is so incredibly frustrating because of the lagging, as well as the error messages covering the cards, meaning you can't see the next card for several seconds, by which time it's far too late! Seriously guys, please fix all the problems, it is really really annoying when you are trying to play a rapid response game competitively and it keeps bugging! :cry:

FYI this is sometimes easily solved by refreshing your screen.
I had twice (last time today) the same problem as ClearLake. Refreshing didn't help at all.

Fortunately I will NEVER play this game, EVER. Funny story. My (teenage) daughter brought the (actual) card game to our family as a simple distraction while chilling in the back yard on a sunny afternoon. She was so excited to be the game master bringing a new game to the group that she had played with her friends. As we were playing, I was struggling to keep up with the pace obviously, and not being able to spot the common image quick enough. I realized however, that the frantic pace does not permit any of the others players to "VERIFY" that the image you shouted out, actually matched the other card played. After a while, I would just start shouting out random names of images, removing the card, and frantically moving on to the next match. Everyone was so focused on trying to find the next match, they were not able to "CALL me out" on my cheats. To keep up with the ruse, I would let a few unmatched cards go by to another player, just to put everyone OFF my deception, not wanting to win EVERY SINGLE card in a row. Eventually my son questioned, how I was doing so well. when he was struggling to even get ONE match. The jig was up at that point - I laughed loudly and revealed the despicable trick to my "DAD-move." The game ended quickly after that, once everyone agreed that there was absolutely no way anyone could VERIFY every valid or invalid card match taken by anyone during the frantic game play. We had discovered the broken nature of this game, when playing real time in person, and never played Spot-It EVER again. My daughter was slightly devastated that I completely wrecked her game for her, but was old enough to see the humour, and truth, in the eventual pitfall of Spot-It.

How could this have become a Worldwide phenomenon, when we were able to break it in the first play through?

Like most games, playing with cheaters is not fun :) I trust my friends and never check if they cheat !
At least on BGA you can't cheat, so this website is perfect for you :D

I'm typically not a cheater - it was just so obviously funny that I had to "stick it to" my kids for once. Dad-move. :lol:
