How does it work? It seems like a mathematical genius to have a single match between every pair of cards.... HOW???

He he, it's blows my mind too op Grin

I don't know but I love it. Best family game x

ILikeyourHairyHands · 18/07/2019 10:13

I've thought about this, it must have been an algorithm that worked it out.

My 13 year old ds suffers from occasional insomnia. When it hits I tell him to work out the Dobble matches and it sends him straight to sleep!

A friend of a friend who is some sort of scientist tried to work it out to make his own version...he couldn't do it! Ended up just copying one for one and took in ages!!

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 18/07/2019 10:15

We love it but it is IMPOSSIBLE to beat DS. It's like playing against Rain Man.

Outbackbbq · 18/07/2019 10:15

Love it

BrillyPribble · 18/07/2019 10:15

Sorcery, innit. I swear the images change. There's no way there's a match on some cards and yet...when it's too late...one pops up!

It's magic. That's all you need to know.

Dobble is the Best. Game. Ever.

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 18/07/2019 10:51

I’d really like to know howwww.....

It truly is magic but there must be a formula Confused

Whaaaat I’ve never heard of this but just added it to the amazon wishlist. Sounds great but I hate maths!!?

BrillyPribble · 18/07/2019 11:00

Bendydick just don't try and understand it, you won't need maths.

VenusClapTrap · 18/07/2019 11:02

Every time we play it, dh starts wittering about how he’d like to work out the algorithm.

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 18/07/2019 11:02

Nothing to do with maths for the game itself but the making of it must indeed have some sort of algorithm.

MercedesDeMonteChristo · 18/07/2019 11:09

although a HP version sounds great ...

I am also fascinated by this and did some reading on it recently:

math.stackexchange.com/questions/1303497/what-is-the-algorithm-to-generate-the-cards-in-the-game-dobble-known-as-spo

Unfortunately I don't understand it!
