The game floor mat includes a start line, a finish line, and differently colored lanes arranged in in parallel and interposed between the start line and the finish line, with each lane comprising a predetermined number of step spaces. The spinner device includes differently colored wedges that correspond to the differently colored lanes, with each wedge including a step instruction defined thereon and a spinner pointer designed to be spun, which results in the spinner pointer landing on one of the wedges. The selected wedge identifies the lane in which the corresponding player should move, and how many steps that player should take.
