Plus Ring Spaces
Normally, you will receive 3 rings if you land on a Plus Ring Space.
Once the final Precioustone has appeared, this number will double.
Minus Ring Spaces
Normally, you will lose 3 rings if you land on a Minus Ring Space.
Once the final Precioustone has appeared, this number will double.
Ring Space Combos
If you continue to land on either Plus Ring Spaces or Minus Ring Spaces for
consecutive turns, you will gain or lose up to 5 times the amount of
rings. Therefore if you land on a Plus Ring Space two times in
succession, you will receive double the amount of rings, then triple
if you land on a 3rd Plus Ring Space on your next turn and so forth.
Even if you land on more than 5 consecutive Plus Space Rings, you
will only receive a maximum of five times the number of rings. A
combo will continue even if you land on a Minus Ring Space after
a Plus Ring Space.
Light Mode and Darkness Mode
This is when Eggman periodically descends on the board to wreak havoc on the
players.

Minus Space will cost you –1 ring.
Darkness Mode
This will mean that landing on a Plus Space will win you +1 ring and landing on a
Minus Space will cost you –5 rings.
These modes also af fect ring combos when they are landed on a certain number of
times on the board:

Every 15 times (Darkness Mode)
Minus Ring Spaces
Every 10 times (Light Mode)
