Rules

Based on secondary sources — rulebook not checked

Sources checked

A speed-and-observation game about finding and naming the single matching Pokémon picture between two round cards before anyone else.

Edition: Korea Boardgames Dobble Pokémon AGCN03P (Korean edition)Cross-checked against secondary sources · official rulebook pending

Edition and verification scope

This guide covers the Korean Dobble Pokémon imported by Korea Boardgames: product code `AGCN03P`, barcode `3558380099758`, and Korean safety number `CB064R3431-1002`. The owner's round tin was manufactured in May 2023.

Edition booklet not yet checked

The tin confirms 2–8 players, ages 6+, 15 minutes and exactly one common picture between any pair. Product listings and Korea Boardgames' series guide support the 55 cards and five games, but this edition's booklet wording and ordering have not been checked directly.

Core idea

Size and orientation may change, but any two cards share exactly one picture.
  • Compare two cards.
  • Find the one Pokémon or item shown on both.
  • Clearly call out the matching picture.
  • Take, discard or pass a card according to the chosen mini-game.

Start with Towering Inferno below. Once everyone knows the picture names, switch to another mini-game; this reduces disputes over calls.

Recommended first game — Towering Inferno

  1. 1Deal one card face down to each player and put the rest face up in the centre.
  2. 2Reveal personal cards together.
  3. 3Compare your top card with the top centre card.
  4. 4The first player to correctly name the match takes that centre card onto their own pile.
  5. 5Continue until the centre pile is empty; the player with the most cards wins.
Everyone compares their own card with the same centre card at once; there are no turns.

Use the included booklet first

These names and outlines follow Korea Boardgames' five-game Dobble guide. Until the AGCN03P booklet is checked, this guide does not assert its exact card counts, round counts or tie wording.

Calls and judging

  • Name the picture aloud rather than only pointing at it.
  • A change in size or orientation does not make it a different picture.
  • Agree on one simultaneous-call rule before play, such as first hand on the card.
  • If someone does not know every Pokémon name, agree on plain nicknames first.

Simultaneous calls unverified

Because the owner's edition booklet has not been read, its official simultaneous-call priority is unknown. Apply your agreed method consistently.

Spotting tips

  • Scan and briefly name the eight pictures on your own card first.
  • Check the centre against those pictures one by one instead of searching randomly.
  • Do not focus only on large pictures; scan the card edge for small ones.
  • With children, slow down the first round so Pokémon names do not become the real obstacle.

Rules FAQ

Q. Do two cards always share a picture?

Yes. The product states that every pair has exactly one matching picture.

Q. Does a different size make it a different picture?

No. It still matches when the character or object is the same.

Q. Must players know the exact Pokémon names?

No. Any agreed name that clearly identifies the picture works; settle ambiguous names before play.

Q. Is it completely identical to classic Dobble?

The matching principle and five-game family are the same. The AGCN03P booklet has not been checked, so this guide does not claim word-for-word identity.

Q. What if two players call at once?

The official tie method for this edition is unverified. Agree on a method, such as first hand on the card, before starting.

Sources and edition notes

The owner's tin and the BoardGameMall notice identify the exact Korean product. Korea Boardgames documents the five-game Dobble family and the Pokémon edition; Asmodee and Zygomatic sources confirm the core matching play.

BGG base game 63268 is used only for the underlying Spot it!/Dobble context because no dedicated AGCN03P entry was confirmed. English Wikipedia and Namuwiki were used for series history, not as evidence for Pokémon-edition-specific rules.

💡 Master tip

Scan and briefly name the eight pictures on your card first, then match them against the centre card one by one. Agree on simple nicknames when someone does not know every Pokémon name.
