A NOTE ABOUT THE SPINNER
On their turn, players will use the Spinners movement feature to determine how many spaces to move the Avatar. Additionally, players will use the Spinner to resolve battles with creatures. The following gures show the Spinner Movement and Attack Feaures:
Regardless of whether the Spinner is being used for movement or attack: If the Spinner lands between two spaces, the spin is null-andvoid, and therefore; a new spin will be required. Players should use the Spinner until a clear spin resolution is reached for each turn. Landing on a red square during an attack spin is an automatic fail.
METHOD OF PLAY
On their respective turn, players should use the Spinner to determine the number of spaces that the Avatar can be moved. During their turn, players must: 1. Move the Avatar according the number that the Spinner landed on. Be sure to move the Avatar the full amount of the Spin Count.
