RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to the finish. Layout the board and setup the 3d ladders, so they roll uphill, between 23 and 47, 28 and 57, and 53 and 69. Each player picks a color and take the ball. Pick a player to go first then play proceeds clockwise, placing the balls in the turn order section. On your turn roll the die then move your ball exactly that many spaces, following the numbers to the top, skipping over empty spaces or ladders and snakes.

If you land on the bottom space of a ladder, or the head of a snake, then your ball will roll to the other side and you will continue moving from that new location on your next turn. You are not allowed to join a snake or a ladder in its middle. If you land on another player, then move forward to the next available space. If you land on another player who is on a ladder or snake, then as long as there is room, you join them. If there isn’t room, then skip it to the next available space.

You must land by exact count into the final space. The first player to do this, wins!

I want the one where you stack the snakes and ladders on top of each other like chess, conect 4, tic tac toe, ect ect

[WaterCat]

One of those games, where there's no player input — just randomness

[Tehom]

The rules are the same as regular snakes and ladders except for these plastic parts.

The rules are the same as regular snakes and ladders except for these changes

[Edos]

but if you are near a ladder or a snake, can you do en passant to the moving ball?

[geesecouchtaming]

Do how to play The Battle of Polytopia
It's like Civ but simpler

[flowrling]

i remember having this. it *is* the same as normal snakes and ladders, but it was still cool. i wish we had more kinetic board games like this and mouse trap!!

[Lopoi]

When you say: "you must land by exact count ...". What happens if you dont and roll more? do you bounce back? do you not move? do you loop around? (ok that last one is a joke, but I was just wondering)

[horesfan]

The rules are exactly the same as regular snakes and ladders.

[MattiaBulgarelli]

The game basically plays itself, you're just executing what the game tells you to. I hoped they'd revamp the concept a little bit with some player's choice or something.

[potatoheadpokemario]

This might as well be 2d snakes and ladders

[joe_z]

Wait, you didn't mention what happens when you overshoot the goal! Do you just bounce backwards or do you have to start the row again?

[gamelover]

Question: Why are you recreating game rules you already created a while back?

[Hexa]

now i wonder what's the actual 3d game would look like

[yanisbowrin]

Basically the normal thing as snakes and ladders

[jtm-inc]

Why not make a Snakes and Ladders game where you can move the Snakes and Ladders to any position on the board before you play? Seems like a obvious variation to have.

[massproducedeva_]

You know, they could have made this with chutes and ladders, with more ramps to make the slides

[Snard]

I cant be the only one who played chutes and ladders instead of snakes and ladders

[Andrew-wwhz]

I think you usurped Yugi’s title as Master of Games lol

[nicholasstanton]

Exact count just makes the game a _drag_
