## Description
Ever had that feeling of wanting to collect everything while dealing with total chaos? That's exactly what happens in Spots! In this casual and fast-paced game, you enter a friendly race to complete the most amazing collection of dogs. The dynamics are simple but tense: you roll dice and try to place them onto the available dog cards. Sounds easy? That's where the catch is!

The core of the game is risk management. If you roll the dice and can't allocate the results to the cards, those dice end up 'buried' in your yard. The problem is that your yard has a limit. If you bury too many dice, you 'bust' and lose your progress for the round. This creates that classic dilemma: 'Should I try one more roll to get that perfect number, or play it safe to avoid losing everything?'

Beyond luck, there's a strategic layer in the action drafting and how you decide which dogs to prioritize. Since it's a race, the time pressure and your opponents' progress make every decision feel more significant. With quick matches lasting around 30 minutes, Spots is perfect for those who want a light game that still provides that thrill of uncertainty. If you love animals and enjoy 'push your luck' games where greed can be your best friend or your worst enemy, this is the right choice. The final goal is clear: the first player to complete 6 dogs takes the trophy and wins the game!
