I'm in the U.S. and I'm intrigued that you all seem to have different in-car/on-road games, though this article claims it's international. Fascinating.
Yeh, self proclaiming "international rules" is utter bullshit, they could maybe claim national but this doesnt follow the rules as I know them from the UK.
Also who wants "points" it is all about an excuse to beat on siblings or friends when younger.
I have heard of "punch buggy" because of the internet but never knew of that as a thing when I was younger. We did the same thing but for minis and there was no name for it you just shouted MINI as your fist was flying in.
I use to play punch bug as a kid but there aren’t too many of those left on the roads these days.
I have also driven a yellow car for more than 10 years and was not aware my car was a spotto until the last 6 months and now as I drive around I can see kids calling it out in the streets as I pass.
It doesn't really claim it's international other than saying a family named it "international" as a kind of family in joke to appease their daughters in a rules argument

Interesting I thought the only rule was if you see a yellow car you say spotto.

What is this article? Some random family made their own rules for spotto. Every family has their own rules. How is the newsworthy?

Yeah, but does every family have a journo friend who will publish it in one of the nations biggest news websites. I don’t think so.

Thanks, I might create the Lighthouse Spotting Federation now, just in case people were confused about seeing lighthouses.
