Spyrol

This is a race game for 2 or 4 players, with some aspects of both Ludo and Snakes and Ladders. As in Ludo, the goal is for each player to get all four of their counters to the Home space, in this case the very center of a long spiral. Counters of different colors may capture each other, while two or more counters of the same color may form a Barrier that cannot be captured or passed. There are also seven Ladders set on the board to reach across rings of the spiral. A counter which lands at the base of a Ladder will shoot to the other end, capturing any opposing piece in the Ladder's path. The game may be based on the older and more complex Willy's Walk to see Grandmamma, which features a similar layout.
