About the game
Another 'Good Game Gone Bad' from Smirk and Dagger Games. This builds upon the same type of cookie carnage in "Run for your Life, Candyman!" but is totally amped up in a whole NEW game that parodies Chutes and ladders with delicious mayhem. From the box: The gingerbread men have left the confines of their sugar-frosted land and let their rage spill over into yet another family favorite board game, where total carnage has its ‘ups and downs’. The board’s original slides and ladders once helped teach kids about morality. But in "SHOOTIN’ LADDERS: Frag Fest", you’ll more likely learn a lesson in ‘mortality’ and that everyone gets their just desserts. So sling your M&M16, load your Dessert Eagle and get ready to blast the other cookies to bits as you climb and slide your way to victory! Includes 7 ACTION-PACKED SCENARIOS with Team Play & Free-For-All Modes: The Quick and the Crumbed • Candyman Flag Capture • Trophy Room Head Hunter • Crumble Zone • The Guns of Tobleronne • The Dirty Half Dozen
