Spot it!

See https://tlk.github.io/spotit/cards.html for a set of 57 cards inspired by the popular Spot it! game.

Mathematical background

Apparently, this game is built on what is called a Finite projective plane of order 7.

See https://images.math.cnrs.fr/Dobble-et-la-geometrie-finie.html (in French), or these comments on Stackoverflow:

From theory to emojis

The spotit.py script create cards from a template file with placeholders named S1, S2 .. S8.

The placeholders are replaced with emojis to make the cards colorful.

Finally, all cards are combined into a single file cards.html that can be printed out.

Customizing the cards

Template file Example card
template example

The template file is in SVG-format and can be customized using free software such as macSVG.

It is also possible to customize the emojis used to generate the cards. Be aware that emojis may not look the same on different devices and operating systems.
