Description
In Spinderella, players race to get their three ants across the forest floor as quickly as they can, but spiders await in the branches above and — with a little help from opponents — one might swoop down to scoop up your ant and return it to the starting line. You can do the same to them, of course, so search for the right time to act and the right places to hide.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- capture and reset — If you capture an opponent's ant, it is sent back to start; you may accidentally capture your own
- dice-driven movement (multi-die resolution) — Brown die moves ants, black die moves spiders, green die indicates whether a spider/ant moves
- dynamic canopy/tension mechanic — Top of the canopy (P&P) changes tension (slack) on the string, affecting movement
- Score-and-Reset — If you capture an opponent's ant, it is sent back to start; you may accidentally capture your own
