About this game
Spinderella turns two players into a spider's puppeteers while everyone races their ants across the forest floor. Roll to see whether you are steering an ant forward, nudging the tree trunk, or pulling the strings that lower Spinderella from her web, and if she swoops down onto a rival's ant, you get to speed one of yours along as a reward. Three little dice keep every turn different, and the spider's sudden drop always gets a gasp at the table. Light rules, big table presence, and just enough push-your-luck menace to keep six-year-olds and their parents both leaning in.
