‘Spotto’ is the name, and aircraft recognition is the aim (how marvellous!)- really it’s just a more informative version of ‘Lotto’ or ‘Housey- Housey’ as they call it.
You have sets of cards, all with 8 different aircraft silhouettes printed on them, and your aim is to fill the card up with the corresponding ‘named’ chips- quite simple!
On the back of the cards you have information about your card of aircraft too…
For example-
‘THIS WAR’S GAME OF HOUSEY- HOUSEY’ (‘LOTTO’)
Learn ‘Aircraft Recognition’ while you play!
INTERESTING- INSTRUCTIVE- EXCITING
Get to know which is ‘ours’ and which are ‘theirs’
A game for all ages and both sexes
OF INSTRUCTIVE VALUE TO:
Spotters, Observers, Home Guards, Scouts, ARP, Police, Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen, Etc.

This is my ‘ I haven’t got a foggiest what these aircraft are,
so just nod and smile’ face!

Looks rather good fun. I love your Warden's helmet and nice to see you sensibly wrapped up on such a cold day
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun game and informational too!
ReplyDeleteI say, that sounds like my sort of game!
ReplyDeleteThere's something similar on display at my local museum - "Aviation, the aerial tactics game":

I can see Spotto must be a lot of fun, but very informative and historically/culturally significant too!
I found a load of these types of fab little games in my local antiques very tempted indeed now ive seen yours...
ReplyDeleteI love old games and toys. There's something fascinating and cheering about seeing how children (and adults) have had fun over the years.
