Egyptian Spell-a-Thon

Game objective:
Finish the circle and find the long lost Alexandria Library.

Game Rules:
This game can play 2-4 people. Level of difficulty depends on the age of the players. Younger players should use 1 dice. That will keep the maximum of the letters in the game up to 6. Older players can play with 2 dice, and solve the words that are up to 12 letters long. Game starts by throwing dice and moving figurine ahead for as many letters as you score points. Once figurine is moved, you need to spell the word that starts with the letter you stop on, and has as many letters as you score points. (Example: You are at the letter F and dice shows number 5. You will move figurine 5 letters ahead, to letter K, and then spell 5 letter word that start with letter K. KNEEL is acceptable answer.) If the player cannot think of the word, in a reasonable amount of time, he will draw one of the SURPRISE cards. First player to finish the full lap is the winner, and should get some ice-cream.

Material used:
Foam board, playing cards, 2 dice, figurines, color markers, scissors, straight ruler, candy box, and older sister to help
