About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a frantic race full of twists and turns in Spinderella! In this super fun game, each player controls a trio of ants with the goal of getting them safely across the forest floor. But beware! Spiders lurk in the branches above, ready to swoop down and give your little workers a scare (and a significant setback). And the best part (or worst, depending on your perspective) is that you can do the same to your opponents' ants! The gameplay is an electrifying mix of luck, with good old dice rolling (or spinner spinning, depending on the version), and strategy. You need to think fast: when to advance your ants, when to hide, and, most importantly, when is the perfect time to send a spider after an opponent and disrupt their plan. The 3D board, with the game box serving as part of the structure, adds a special charm and a touch of dexterity, as the spiders' three-dimensional movements are a show in themselves. Spinderella is a light, fast-paced game with plenty of interaction, ideal for playing with family and friends, especially for introducing younger players to the world of board games with an experience full of laughter and a little bit of tension.
