It's certainly true that... Snakes and Ladders is going nowhere, and fair enough. I happen to think Snakes and Ladders has a brilliant design. I remember playing it with my daughter when she was four, and I was like, hey, we're equals around this table, right? I can't bring any skill to this. The dice don't care that I'm older than her.
