Word game

Who has ever played the Dobble game?

How does it work?

Whoever spots the symbol in common 

on both cards claims the first card, 

then another card is revealed 

for players to search, and so on. 

Before we start playing

Voordat we gaan spelen:

Check in je groep of jullie de Engelse benaming van elk plaatje kennen.

Zo niet (of jullie zijn het niet eens met een benaming), zoek het op in het woordenboek.

Noteer de moeilijke benamingen op een papiertje.

What's the English word for ...?

Let's play Dobble!

Aan het begin van het spel draaien alle spelers gelijktijdig hun kaart om. Iedere speler moet nu als snelste proberen het identieke symbool te vinden tussen zijn eigen kaart en de zichtbare kaart in het midden van de tafel. De eerste speler die het gelijke symbool vindt en benoemt, neemt de bovenste kaart van de stapel en legt deze boven op zijn eigen openliggende kaart. Door deze kaart te nemen wordt een nieuwe kaart zichtbaar op de stapel. Speel verder totdat alle kaarten van de stapel verdeeld zijn.
