Board Game Arena

A very light game to start the week!

Spots is a casual push your luck game from CMYK. It was designed by Jon Perry with Alex Hague and Justin Vickers, and features dozens of adorable dog illustrations from the artist John Bond. And we would like to thank them all for bringing this game to BGA.

On your turn, you will be rolling and placing dice onto dog cards. Dice you cannot place get buried in your yard. Bury too many dice and you bust. Complete 6 dogs and you win! If you want to check the very fast tutorial on how to play it, it is available from the game page or by clicking here.

The only risk is that your dogs are frisky and will bury any dice that do not happen to line up with an open slot. When you bury too many dice and bust, you lose all your dice, both those buried in the yard and those waiting atop your dogs. Such an eventuality effectively forces you to start from scratch, with the exception that any finished dogs, those you filled with spots and then spent a turn scoring, are safe forevermore, secure in the comfort of their speckled fur.

It is short, fun and playable by pretty much...anyone. Click below for more information and play a game:

Lastly, we would love to thank Kayvon and Mogri for making such a cute and efficient adaptation for Board Game Arena. Development is not always about the deepest game mechanics, but to be able to play them easily from anywhere, and that is where Spots shines.

And that's it for today!
See you on Wednesday Release time,
Take care and play fair!

Adorable game, runs smoothly, pretty good solo!
Thanks a lot for all of the work put behind the implementation

This is definitely a filler, but has been a runaway hit woth everyone I introduced it to.

So, it sorta stinks that shows up so far down the (mobile) page. I get not everything gets top billing, but for this to be below Earth, Wind, and Fire too is a bit much. It already is ridiculous that these games and announcements show up below the way too long “comments” feed, but then to get bottom billing there , too?!

A rearrangement would be appreciated. Or maybe even just highlighting the things that aren’t a priority with the same prominence (top billing), but for a much shorter duration before reverting back to the main announcement.

I was really looking forward to the increased player pool that would come with a wide release for this, but being so hidden, I am worried it might not come as strongly

Yes, but where is Simpsons guy?

Where is Ned?!

Hey guys, can you check your notification settings? I've gotten about half a dozen notifications for this announcement to my phone this morning.

Thanks!

Man this is such a great game. Probably one of my top 10 favorites just due to how fast it is to teach and play and the variety due to the different tricks. Great implementation too!

Check twice

Is Ned just eyes?

It was really hart to SPOT him, but I finally did. It's actually a bit of an optical illusion, but it's there
