- Official Top Spot Game Rules And Instructions
Be the first player to get three spots in a row of your color horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Perparation: Decide which player will be "blue" and which player will be "red." Shuffle the cards and deal two face-down cards to each player. Stack the remaining cards face down to form the draw pile. Players must keep their cards hidden from their opponent's view.
Game Play: The goal of the game is to be the first player to have three of your color in a row—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally (refer to the diagram to the right).
The "red" player goes first. On each turn, players must: First, read both of their cards and select one to play. The cards contain colored spots or blanks. Blanks are strategic moves played to cover your opponent's spots so they will not win. Second, place one card on the board, in either direction provided that it fits. Cards can overlap or cover cards completely, but only as described in the rules below. Third, draw one card from the draw pile in order to have two cards in hand at the completion of your turn.
The player to obtain three of their color's spots in a row first wins the game!
