My youth was bedevilled by boardgames. They really don’t interest me, partly because everything is made of flat, scrappy cardboard.
Today’s invention is an upgrade to the popular game of snakes and ladders.
Instead of a flat board, each of the 144 squares would be made from a tower of a variable number of Lego-like bricks, so that the topography of the board would be configurable from game to game.
Onto this a number of plastic snakes and ladders could be snapped…their locations chosen by the players before the game commenced.
