Read the full game description
Dobble Connect turns the familiar matching challenge into a simultaneous team race. Each team has a color and tries to create an unbroken line of four matching-color cards. To add a card, a player must spot and name the single symbol it shares with a card already on the table. Everyone searches and plays at once, so a good match can extend your own line or block an opponent just before they connect four. The result is a compact, energetic pattern-recognition game for two to eight players.
