Snakes and ladders

Snakes and ladders was a board game originating on Earth.

Snakes and ladders was one of the games the Celestial Toymaker played with his victims. In the Toymaker's version, his opponents found themselves on a life-sized version of the game, having to climb actual ladders and evade giant snakes. (PDA: Divided Loyalties)
