Tukata TG4009 Snake and Ladder Wooden Board Game

OVERVIEW:

Snakes and ladders (or chutes and ladders) is an ancient Indian board game regarded today as a worldwide classic. It is played between two or more players on a game board having numbered, gridded squares.

A number of "ladders" and "snakes" (or "chutes") are pictured on the board, each connecting two specific board squares. The object of the game is to navigate one's game piece from the start (bottom square) to the finish (top square), helped or hindered by ladders and snakes, respectively. The historic version had roots in morality lessons, where a player's progression up the board represented a life journey complicated by virtues (ladders) and vices (snakes)

FEATURES:

Simple & Clever Game Board - This is probably the BEST “Snakes and Ladders” game board I have ever seen. Instead of the common numbered and gridded squares design, what we have here is a board with holes that can securely hold the game pieces whilst we navigate them along the path. There is no more “accidentally knocking over the tokens” frustration, or disputes over which “square” a token last stopped at. This feature is such a refreshing joy! I also love the simple, minimal, and clear illustrations without too many dizzying jumble of colours and additional details. I love that the design is classy enough for adults, and adorable enough for kids!

Sweet & Short Game - Instead of the usual 10 x 10 grid with 100 squares, this version is sweet and SHORT! The board has an 8x8 grid design with ONLY 64 spaces - meaning, we get to end the game a bit faster or play another few more rounds without having any single one dragging too painfully long.

Game Variation - The set comes with 8 game pieces (2 of each colour). We devised a new game variation where skill and strategy play a part (exactly that sort of game I love!), Each player rolls the dice and decides which of the 2 game pieces should advance forward. THAT, is simply awesome!

Awesome Material & Design - The set is made of premium, lightweight wood using non-toxic paint. I love the dice with dots of different colours on each side. The components can be stored in a sturdy box with the game board as a lid.
