📖 About This Game
While this is essentially a Parchessi variant, the game mechanics were well adapted to the comic book character Spawn, as he was expressed at the time.
Players play cards from their hands which may affect themselves, affect another player or function as tiles on the board. In this case, they alter the movement point cost to enter that space.
Next, players roll dice to build up power (movement) points and move their figure appropriately.
As in Parcheesi, the first player to complete one trip around the board wins.
Other items spice up this mix. Power chips may be spent to add to your roll, but must be spent before you roll. The Violator pawn sends a Spawn pawn back. The Overtkill pawn makes it harder to enter its space.
