Maths board games: Spirals
SPIRALS is a two player board game, which if you really concentrate and work out the final moves will allow you to win most of the time, whether you start first or second. (Clue: if you leave one counter 4 moves away from the end when it is your opponents move you can certainly win!)
Equipment:
4 counters
A playing board.
Rules:
One counter is placed on each of the four stars.
Player one starts by moving any one counter out towards the home base, going round the spiral. The counter can be moved on one, two or three spots.
Player two then takes their turn to move any counter towards the home base, going round the spiral. The counter can be moved on one, two or three spots.
Counters cannot land on top of each other. They cannot jump over each other and they cannot go backwards.
The winner is the player who puts the last counter into the home base.
On the first page you will find a board which can be printed out onto card.
