Snakes and Ladders 3D is a board game released in 1998 for 2–6 players and 20 minutes per game. Its main mechanics are Roll / Spin and Move.
This is the classic children's game in 3-dimensions. Now when you land on a snake, your marble actually goes down tubes and slide for one or more levels. Livens up the game for everyone. The board is a bit of a construction project at first, and won't fit back in the box after it is setup, but it's a lot more interesting than the usual flat board.
