Spot It! Goes from Tables to Comics

Asmodee Entertainment has announced an agreement with publisher Ablaze to produce a graphic novel based on Spot It!, the award-winning visual perception game from Asmodee’s Zygomatic games studio.

Spot It! (known as Dobble outside North America) is a gaming phenomenon and worldwide bestseller in the family games market.

Characters from the game, including Dobbly, the famous anthropomorphic hand which features in the game’s logo, will appear in an original adventure story, written by Derek Fridolfs and illustrated by Gabriele Bagnoli.

The Spot It! graphic novel will be available to retailers through Diamond Comics and Diamond Book Distributors and is due to launch in Summer 2022, with further details expected soon.

Asmodee Entertainment and Welbeck Announce Dobble and Pandemic Puzzle Books

Asmodee

Asmodee Entertainment and Welbeck Publishing have announced that their successful puzzle book collaboration is set to continue, with two new titles announced at Brand Licensing Expo in the UK. Puzzle books based on Z-Man Games’s well-known Pandemic boardgame and Zygomatic’s bestselling family game Dobble (known as Spot It! in North America) will join CATAN, Ticket to Ride, and Unlock in Welbeck’s range of puzzle books based on Asmodee’s portfolio of leading tabletop game brands.

Each of the titles challenges readers to solve a variety of word, number, and symbol puzzles based on themes familiar to the tabletop games. The Dobble Puzzle Book contains more than 100 visual puzzles based on the award-winning and best-selling card game. Favorite Dobble icons appear in puzzles ranging from Spot the difference and Mazes, to Odd One Out and cartoon Sudoku, including head-to-head puzzles to be played against others.

The Pandemic Escape Room Puzzle Book features images and locations familiar to anyone who knows and loves the original board games in a series of chapters containing visual cryptic conundrums for the reader to ponder over, translating the Pandemic game into a thrilling global narrative.

Both books will be written by Jason Ward, the author of the Unlock Escape Adventures Puzzle Book and are expected in 2022.  The announcement of these new titles follows on the successful launch last year of the CATAN Puzzle Book and, in October this year, further volumes based on Space Cowboy’s popular Unlock! series of escape room games and Days of Wonder’s hugely successful Ticket to Ride series of boardgames. The Catan Puzzle Book has already proven a major success and is now available in seven languages.

The Op Partners with Asmodee for New Spot It! Games

The Op Spot It!

Usaopoly (The Op) has announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with Asmodee to release licensed versions of Spot It!, a multi-award winning pattern recognition game that launched in 2010 to universal acclaim.

Also known as Dobble, the quick-playing family game is most recognized by its uniquely illustrated deck of 55 circular cards, each featuring eight various symbols. With always one symbol in common between any two cards, the game’s fast-acting objective is to be the first to spot a match and grab that card, prompting the next in the deck to be revealed, then quickly surveyed and claimed. Once the deck is depleted, the player with the most collected cards wins.

The Op is looking to release several Spot It! games this fall in North America with a $14.99 MSRP.
