Up the Ladder

A children's roll and move game combined with a touch of dexterity.

The game board is a huge ladder, the playing pieces are little men carrying sacks on their backs. Each player has four of these with four different sack colors. Driven by dice, these men walk up (and occasionally down) the ladder, trying to reach the top. When three men stand on the same rung, though, the rung topples and all the men fall down, bringing down all those below them, too.
