The engine of the game

Every spin asks:
how greedy are you?

Each sector gives movement and an element. Take the first result, or spin once more: add the steps, but let the second element decide what happens next.

The valley is waiting.

A second Meteor cancels movement, sends you back two spaces, and costs one egg.

Why the wheel matters

More than a roll-and-move.
A race with a read.

Spinzino starts with a simple thought: why should a die be the only way a tabletop race can surprise you? The wheel puts chance where everyone can see it. Each turn begins with a choice to read the sectors, gauge the position of the other runners and decide when to spend a power. Zino is the young guide at the centre of that expedition — a survivor with a clear head, not a cartoon mascot.

The Valley is a pressure system, not a queue of spaces. Lava creates a risky burst, Jungle paths reward timing, Meteors pull plans apart and Eggs make the Nest feel closer. The rules stay lean, while the table talk stays sharp: hold your re-spin, protect the egg, block the event, make the swap. That is the kind of adult game night Spinzino was built for.
