Commission: Let's play!!
Next up, a commission for "Rocketdog299":[https:rocketdog299.deviantart.com]! These three Yoshi pals are playing a board game that is a spin-off of the original, 'Game of the Goose'.. a game that is well-known in Europe. As you can see, the commissioner has asked to customize this special game from top to bottom. Let's play 'Game of the Yoshi'!! "Wait with Yoshi":[https:mloun.deviantart.com/art/Wait-with-Yoshi-131691677]Â
Rocketdog was kind enough to type out the rules of the game below:
____________
- EQUIPMENT
The game is played on a spiral shaped board. There are six differently coloured pieces in the shape of Yoshi-heads.
- PREPARATION AND OBJECTIVE
Pieces are placed on the starting space at the outside of the spiral. Highest roll of the dice starts.
The Game of Yoshi is a simple race game - first person to reach the heart in the middle wins.
- PLAY
Players take turns to roll the dice and moved their piece forward by the sum of the two dice.
If a piece lands on an enemy piece, the enemy piece is returned to the space that the piece started from in that turn (i.e. the two pieces swap places).
If a piece lands on a space with a picture of a Smiley Flower, it moves forward by same amount again.
If a piece lands on a space with a picture of a Melon, it loses a turn because it's temporarily distracted eating the melon.
If a piece lands on a space with a picture of a Shy Guy, it is sent back five spaces.
If a piece lands on a space with a picture of Baby Bowser, it is sent back to start.
- WINNING THE GAME
To win the game, a piece must land exactly on the heart.
If a player throws too many, the piece counts the extra points backwards from the winning space. If you land on Baby Bowser, you must start again.

I for one would love to give this game a go! Now, how to go about making the board and pieces... hehe~
Thank you for commissioning me Rocket! It's always so enjoyable drawing my loveable Yoshi friends.. I can't get enough!! Hope you all like it! <3
