Spaces,[1] also referred to as Game Board Spaces, are game elements that appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are special places found on Boards that are used in gameplay for specific tasks.
Overview[]
In Sonic Shuffle, Spaces serve to the same purpose as the areas from a board game. When a player stands on top of a Space, a specific action will occur. Spaces can be used by the player to gain advantages or disadvantages against opponents. They are available on every Board in Sonic Shuffle. The Space the player will stand on top is determined by the value of the Magical Card the player gets.
