TorselliWelcome to *Spots*! In this clever push-your-luck game, you have to fill the dogs using the dice you rolled when selecting different actions. 1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
TorselliThe goal of the game is *to fulfill six dog cards*. The first player that achieves this condition is the winner.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
TorselliIn the player panel you can see how many dogs you [blue]*scored*[/blue], the number of [red]*treats*[/red] you have and the dice that are [green]*buried*[/green] in your yard. 3spt-player1460202-yard000player_score_1460202 2 spt-player1460202-treat 1 spt-player1460202-yardContents 3
TorselliEach player starts with a (random) die buried, one treat and 2 cards (scroll down to see your pack).4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
TorselliThe numbers in [red]*red*[/red] show the dice you need to complete each card.5spt-card11000
TorselliOn your turn you must either *Choose one available action* [red]*or *[/red] *Score completed cards*6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
TorselliChoose the *Howl* action. *Note* - Each action is well explained. Be sure to read them. Mouseover for more info.7spt-trick1-title010
TorselliWhen an action is chosen, it becomes unavailable until one action remains (more information later in this tutorial).1spt-trick1-title6407de8845f4e00
Torselli*Bad Luck!* You rolled a 5, and there's nowhere to put this die in your cards! Let's use one [red]*treat*[/red] and reroll it. The treat is used to reroll *ALL* dice you rolled in this action. You cannot reroll just some of them! Click the *Reroll* button to continue.2spt-diceDish6407de8845f4e10
TorselliNow you rolled a 2. There's just one spot for it - select the die and click here to place it here. If there's more than one option, you can choose where to place the die. Then click *Confirm*.1spt-card18-slot26407de95d022110
TorselliEvery time you roll dice, you have to either *place* them on your cards or *bury* them on your yard.. You can bury no more than *7 spots* in your yard - that means that the sum of all buried dice must not be higher than 7. If you bury more than seven, you'll *bust*.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6407dec8049dc00
TorselliLet's check this roll - you have places for both 4s, but not the 5.... 2spt-diceDish6407dec8049dc00
Torselli...and you have no [red]*treats*[/red] to reroll...3spt-player1460202-treat6407dec8049dc00spt-player1460202-treats 1
Torselli... so, you must place the two 4s and bury the 5. But you already have a 3 [green]*buried*[/green]... 4spt-player1460202-buried06407dec8049dc00spt-player1460202-yardContents 3
TorselliSelect the 4s and place one on each [green]*outlined*[/green] spot. Select the 5 and bury it in the yard (the yard will appear on the left). Click *Confirm* button.5spt-card186407dec8049dc10spt-card11-slot4 3 spt-card18-slot4 3
TorselliYou *busted*! When you bust, *all* the dice are removed from your non-scored dogs (gray side up)... 1spt-cards1460202-inner6407ded82a11100
Torselli... and *all* buried dice are also discarded. 2spt-player1460202-yardContents6407ded82a11100
TorselliLet's move a little further... 3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6407ded82a11100
TorselliFive of the six actions were already selected. Now the actions will be reset, and the not-chosen action will earn a [red]*treat*[/red].1spt-trick101-text6407df0355c5f00
TorselliSee? Whoever chooses this action, will also receive a [red]*treat*[/red]. *Note:* The [red]treat[/red] supply is *limited*! The amount available is displayed just over the draw deck.1spt-trick101-text6407df182312b00spt-info 6
TorselliLet's move forward...2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6407df182312b00
TorselliAs soon as you complete at least one card...1spt-card316407df7b4b17e00
TorselliA new option will appear: to score your completed cards. 2spt-buttonScore6407df7b4b17e00
TorselliWhen you *score*, you *must* score *all* your completed cards, and you will receive one new card for each scored card.3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6407df7b4b17e00
TorselliHere's the draw deck - you can see the next card. But let's move forward...4spt-card196407df7b4b17e00spt-card19 6
TorselliNow you have 2 completed dogs, it's a good time to score. 1spt-card186407dfe17616300
TorselliInstead of choosing an action, click the *Score 2* button.2spt-buttonScore6407dfe17616310
TorselliYour scored dogs are flipped to the blue side, and the dice are returned. They're safe from busting now. You also received 2 new cards. *Important:* you can *never* have more than *6 cards* in your pack. If you choose an action where you should receive a card, or score more cards, you won't receive new cards if you already have 6. 1spt-card186407dfe505fb000
TorselliAnd here you can see the number of [blue]*scored*[/blue] dogs.2player_board_14602026407dfe505fb000player_score_1460202 2
TorselliAnother way of scoring is *fast scoring*. Fast scoring is an automatic scoring that happens when *all* of your available cards are completely filled with dice. In this case, an automatic scoring happens, and you won't have to spend your turn to score. But it's risky.. remember, if you bust, you lose *all* dice from the cards! 3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6407dfe505fb000
TorselliAnd that's it for *Spots*! As soon as a player completes their 6th card, they're the winner! 4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6407dfe505fb000
TorselliThe set of actions you see here is the beginner set. When you create a table, you can choose from other recommended sets of actions, or even randomize it completely. There's also a solo version, if you wanna practice alone. Good luck playing *Spots*!5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6407dfe505fb000
