Duh....it's called a "ladder game2 and it's a sheet of paper with 2 columns with lines on each...there is one column for each player. The instructions say this
Roll the dice and add up the total. Put the total at the bottom of the ladder and roll again. Keep going until yo get to 20. Then your partner does the same. The winner is the person who reaches 20 with the least number of tries.
What I dont get is the bit which says "Roll the dice and add up the "total" What total? A roll of the dice results in one number...not a total.
Do I just roll the dice and say I get 4....then I put 4 on one line...then carry on writing my roll numbers on each line till I reach 20? What if I reach a higher number than 20? Then there will not be enough lines for another go....
it seems like a stupid game and badly explained..or am I just thick?
