This is the oversized Snakes And Ladders game for lawn play using people instead of pieces. The PVC playing mat secures to the ground using the eight included pegs and players roll a 14" inflatable six-sided die for their own movement on the mat. This 9 x 9 grid version replaces the familiar chutes with snakes--the original game element that came to 18th-century England from India. The game adds other modern hazards such as "Bitten By The Dog" where a player must hop on one foot, and "Falling Down The Hole" where a player must sit down and lose a turn. Ages 3 and up. 9 3/4' x 9 3/4'. (9 lbs.)
