Professor Spotty McSpotterson is a yellow philosopher who is delighted to introduce his great masterpiece to the world. He has studied the game of Spotto from an early age and has dedicated his life’s work to the great Australian car game. His wealth of experience enables him to serve as a spiritual guide to in-car travelling mysticism. His alter ego is Cory Spence - a designer, scientist, food tech, musician, artist, and now, game philosopher.
Description
This book gives a tongue-in-cheek framework for guidelines about the game of Spotto, plus delves into the deep philosophy and culture of what is Australias favourite in-car game. The reader is invited to understand and define their own specific rules for a game that is always different for everyone. For example: what makes a car spottable? Where did the game come from? How do you play? (And why are the rules always different?) Can you spot parked cars? Do trucks count? How hard can I punch? The reader is taken on a journey through history and even given theories concerning the definition of the colour yellow. Highly illustrated, this book will delight Spotto lovers everywhere. This flexibound edition contains additional material including rules and materials for an indoor Spotto game.
