SPOTTO!


My latest and greatest find! (so far this year hehe) A new game, and a wartime game at that- lovely jubbly!
‘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-
I have yet to try it out, but I tell you one thing, I’m learning my aircraft silhouettes and names before I let Pops play too!

‘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.



‘JUNKERS Ju 86’ ….. ‘I say old bean, that’s me!’
I can’t wait till I get a full house so I can shout ‘SPOTTO!’

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

SPOTTO to the lot of you! (well the other players!)

  1. Looks rather good fun. I love your Warden's helmet and nice to see you sensibly wrapped up on such a cold day

  3. I say, that sounds like my sort of game!

    There'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!

  5. I love old games and toys. There's something fascinating and cheering about seeing how children (and adults) have had fun over the years.
