The game of cyclone-board game from Spain

Some days ago we shared from Spain pictures of our Game of Cyclone. It's very difficult for us to send you a file to print because children drew it on a big board. However, it's easy to make if you see the picture or if you take as a reference the famous Game of Goose. Now we share the rules you can follow to play the game.



Our Game of Cyclone is similar to the Game of Goose.

Players: 4-6
Materials: 1 dice, as many pieces as players.

Children can draw a board with as many spaces as they want (between 40 and 60 is good). The spaces include pictures related to weather and special spaces related to extreme weather phenomena. Players throw the dice and they move forward along the board. There are special spaces with a special treatment. These are:

- Cyclone: If the piece lands on a cyclone, it moves forward to the next cyclone. Then, throw the dice again.

- Earthquake: stay for one turn

- Draught: wait until someone comes to pull you out - they then take your place

- Thunderstorm: return your piece to the beginning

- Tsunami: If the piece lands on a tsunami, it moves forward to the next tsunami. Then, throw the dice again. Tsunami is similar to the bridge space in the Game of Goose, that is, we just include two tsunami spaces.

- Whirlwind: If the piece lands on the first whirlwind, it moves forward to the second one. If the piece lands on the second whirlwind, it moves back to the first one.

We hope you try and enjoy it!
