pSaLaD
Christmas is a time of year for board games and after 2005's success with Pubopoly, 2006 saw another board game effort. Pub Snakes And Ladders And Dice (pSaLaD, the P is silent) is a simple game using a regular snakes and ladders board There are 100 squares, allocate pubs to each number and off you go, playing as a team to get to the top, take it in turns to roll, whoever lands on square 100 is the winner (of nothing except their pride) Normal snakes and ladder rules apply, climb ladders, slide down snakes. Once you've landed on a square it's out of play and you can't go to that pub again anyone who lands on, climbs to, or slides to a visited pub is out of the game (or can have a tickle, whichever rules you prefer) If you go around the board and roll too many to hit the 100, go back down to 1 and keep counting from there and climb the board all over again |
Anyway the numbers (carefully spread to avoid any huge walks, although there could still be some big ones in theory)

It has a simplistic outlook which is good. The 'board' might scare off JW (think he gets a bit self-conscious about pub dicegames where you get out lots of paraphanalia in pubs). It is worth a try.
