## Description
Get ready for a lightning-fast visual challenge with On the Dot! Forget slow turns and deep contemplation; this game is all about speed and perception. The goal is simple: replicate a colored dot pattern from an objective card using your four transparent cards. Sounds easy? Think again! You'll need to rotate, flip, and stack these cards like a master of layering, all while trying to hide unwanted dots from the cards underneath. It's a true three-dimensional puzzle that tests your hand-eye coordination and your ability to visualize the final result before you even start. With every correct pattern you assemble and shout 'On the Dot!' (or 'Vitrail!'), you earn the objective card. Whoever collects the most cards claims the glory! The game is so frantic it can even be played solo, timing how many combinations you can solve within a set amount of time. The 16 transparent cards, with their scattered colored dots, are the heart of the game, and the 64 combination cards ensure the fun never ends. If you enjoy quick games that stimulate the brain in a fun way and don't mind a bit of controlled chaos, On the Dot is the right choice. It's the perfect kind of game to warm up the group before something heavier or to fill those spare 5 minutes with pure visual fun.
