Advantages: Good for kids

Disadvantages: Not really much competition of a Playstation :-)

Snakes and ladders is such an old fashioned game it`s scary. Saying that it is still fun to play, but only realy for (or with) little kids. Teenagers with their Playstations and Dreamcasts won`t really apperciate Snakes and ladders.

Onc you`ve got a few people to play with, you can begin the game. You have to move up a board to get to the very top, and once you are there you win. The problem is that it isn`t a straight race - there are snakes and ladders on the board. When you land on a ladder you move up to the top of the ladder, which can turn the game around very quickly if you suddenly overtake everyone else. If you land on a snake however, you have to slide down the snake to the other end. This means that you can be far in the lead and suddenly end up behind the rest of the players and lose. This brings more of an element of chance into the game than it might have otherwise.
