In Spinnershapes, you’re racing across a board to reach the finish line first. How (far) you’re allowed to move each turn, however, is decided by the spinner. They act like dice: you give it a spin, and the option that ends on top is the one you must choose.
Is it all luck, then? Of course not! You decide which spinner you want to use. And each one is a different basic shape with a different number of sides, which changes your probability of getting a certain outcome. Through extremely simple rules, this game tests color knowledge, shape knowledge, and adds intuition for probability and strategy.
Oh, and the tactile element of spinners creates a tactile game that will keep children engaged.
Because color is a major part of the game, printing in color is pretty much required. Double-sided printing is not supported, because it’s recommended to glue the spinners onto cardboard/thick paper anyway, and use other household items to assemble the smoothest possible spinner!
