Variations
The difficult “Tumbling spider variation”
Except for the following changes, the game proceeds as with the basic
game. It is recommended only for players quite experienced at “Tumbling
spiders”.
• Put the spider kids at the beginning of the game not next but into the
box. Then clamp Spider Mum between the elastic bands.
• Now the player who has to pile a spider kid, has to first take it carefully
out of the box. Of course, no spider kid, nor Spider Mum may fall off.
• If one or more spider kids fall off, as before, one spider kid has to be
kept as penalty.
If Spider Mum is still suspended in the web, you continue playing.
• All spider kids that have fallen out next to the box are placed back
carefully into the box.
The color spider variation
In this variation a spider kid of one color always has to be piled on to a
spider kid of another color: a red one on a yellow one and so on.
Important: If that is not possible the spider kid in question has to be
piled directly on to Spider Mum.
This variation is a little easier if only kids of the same colors can be piled
on each other.
The KO variation
The game does not end automatically when a player has their third
spider kid in front of them but the players drop off one by one as they
get their third spider kid. The other players continue. The player left at the
end, wins the game.
