Overview

Spots is a dice rolling game where players compete to fill their individual dog boards with dice representing spots. Each player has a unique dog board with spaces of varying sizes and shapes, and on their turn, they roll a set of dice.

Players must strategically place the dice onto their dog board, trying to maximize the number of spots covered and complete specific patterns or sets to earn bonus points. Dice placement is crucial as certain spaces might require specific numbers or combinations. The game ends when a player completely fills their dog board or when the dice pool is depleted, leading to a final scoring round to determine the winner.
