Dobbly's Island is the collaborative game for the whole family! Perfect for a Friday or Saturday afternoon, all together around the table. Of course, ''Dobbly's'' Island can also be played with multiple friends. The game can be played with 2 - 4 people* and takes about 25 minutes.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

= Aim of the game =
The aim of ''Dobbly's Island'' is to leave the sinking island with four players. This is only possible when each player has collected the key in their colour and when the bridges to the submarine has been activated. Is both done? Then the player can go to the submarine, which only leaves the island when everyone is on board.

= Start screen =
On the start screen, the button must be pressed. This game can be played with any colour button, which is why the button is white at first. Press the button to start the game.

The next screen shows the shared ''jar'' with ''steps''. ''Steps'' are the "currency" of Dobbly's Island. With this you can:

* Take steps across the island. Each step from one square to another costs 1 ''step''.

The observant player has noticed that half the screen is upside down. How odd! But don't worry, this is done so that the tablet with the app on it can be placed flat on the table. The intention is that the four players sit around the tablet (instead of behind it), so everyone has a view of the islands. Other action menus will also be rotated to the players for whom it is relevant.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
By taking steps, you can place the players on different action squares. Only when the player stands still on an action square, the corresponding action is carried out. The table below shows the different actions.

= Navigation =
The steps of each player are "paid for" from the common jar. It is therefore important to determine a common strategy, in which everyone can achieve their own goals and the goals of the game. If a player repeatedly chooses for themselves, the player will have to wait for the others at the end (and have nothing left to do). An individual strategy is therefore very boring!

When it has been decided that the purple player, for example, will move, this player can be clicked. At that moment the game zooms in and the purple remote control becomes visible. Only the purple player can operate it! Move the steps by pressing the arrows, the route will be visible through a black line. Satisfied with the route for the purple player? Then press ''Confirm'' and the player will complete the route. If there is an action square at the end of the route, this action square will be played.
