Snakes and Ladders
A downloadable game for Windows
This is not just your ordinary 2-player board game. There are 7 spots on the board called "Ladder" spots that will whisk you off to another space, sometimes forward & sometimes backwards. There is 1 spot near the end of the game called the "Tree Snake" spot that if a player lands on will cause the player to fall from the tree and go back several spaces toward the beginning. There are 6 spots on the board called "Snakebite" spots that require the player to pick a "Snakebite" card with various snake related issues. Most cards will cause the player to move backwards, 1 card will cause the player to go all the way back home & some cards allow forward movement. There are also 2 specialty cards in the deck which will bring up an entirely independent sub-game which will require some arcade style playing. The success of this sub-game will determine whether the player moves backwards or forward after completing the sub-game. The 2 sub-games are as follows:
>Hall of Snakes where the player must make it from the entrance to the exit in the lower right corner of the hall without getting bitten
>Snake Chase where the player must move around the screen eating food objects while avoiding hitting a wall or itself
This game has a Human vs Human mode as well as a Human vs Computer AI mode.

u da man!
I need another idea...I really like writing board games with mini arcade games inside but are running out of ideas again...
Here are some BING suggestions:
Time-Travel Quest: A board game where players move through different eras of history, collecting pieces of a time machine. Mini arcade games could represent challenges in each time period.
Galactic Gladiators: A space-themed board game where players are intergalactic warriors battling for victory. Mini arcade games could simulate spaceship battles or alien encounters.
Treasure Tower: A game where players climb a mysterious tower in search of treasure. Mini arcade challenges could unlock secret rooms or treasure maps.
Eco Explorer: A game about saving the environment. Players complete mini arcade games to clean up pollution or rescue animals, while moving across a vibrant board of ecosystems.
Mystic Carnival: Players explore a magical carnival, collecting charms to lift a curse. Mini arcade games could be themed around carnival attractions like ring toss or a haunted house.
All good ideas. I am first going to complete an entire game of my Monkey Jumper game and then see what comes to me...
