News Flash: Dobble Connect Announced, Four Indiana Jones Games Coming Soon

Dobble Connect

Dobble Connect Announced
Asmodee has announced Dobble Connect, a new twist on the Dobble gameplay. "Like Classic Dobble, in Dobble Connect, players must match the symbols with that of another card. The difference with Dobble Connect is that players now play in teams and must join up hexagonal cards by matching the common symbols to win. The fastest team to connect four cards in their team colour wins! The pressure is on as everyone plays simultaneously, and players can use their cards to block other teams before they connect!"

Reviews
Turtle Splash (Gaming With Sidekicks): “We like how this game brings in three completely different skills: dexterity, matching, and pattern recognition and strategy based on the personal game boards differences. For us, it’s a game that our youngest can grow into (with the dexterity and pattern strategy being new concepts for him).”

Lofoten (Meeple Mountain): “There are compelling ideas here for those who aren’t as miffed by the fidgety fleet wheel and the potential imbalances looming in the shadows. If you have a favorite partner with whom you evenly match wits, you might find something here to celebrate.”
