THE ALL-IN-ONE CREATIVE BOARD GAME KIT Invent 100s of games with friends and family Pen and paper – one set per player Pawns – one per player A six-sided die Ten little tokens – coins, buttons, anything! Create Your Game On this sheet, we’ve given you a board game to start off with, the Cobweb Castle, and an accompanying rule to play the game. Give everyone a pen or pencil and a pawn. In snaddering, everyone works together to create the game, so come up with a story for what’s happening in the castle and then, in no particular order, follow the diagram opposite to complete the doodles, squares and rules. As a group, try to complete the COLLISIONS rule, or come up with some new rules of your own. When everyone’s happy, put your pawns on the start square and play the game! Take turns to roll the die and then move your pawn that many squares in any direction. If any problems arise whilst playing the game (for example, who goes first?), stop the game and try and come up with a solution as a group. Are you ready to invent some games? With our book and the joint creative power of your friends and family, you can make a game right now – about anything you like! We’ve come up with a new way to make tabletop games that we call ‘snaddering’. It’s a process that starts with a simple board – one step up from games you might have played as a kid – and you take it from there. Quickly sketch out a game together, agree on some rules, add some dice and counters and play it out to see what happens. How Does This Book Work? 1. TOKENS At the start of the game, put one token on each of the ten squares marked with a circle. If you end your move on a token, pick it up and keep it. 2. COLLISIONS If you land on another player...? RULES HOW TO WIN Be in the Throne Room with three tokens.
