What is Ropes and Ladders

The object of this game is to move the playing pieces, which represent pirates, from the starting Cannon square to the Port square, moving as directed by the numbers on the die. The thrill of Pirates going up the ladder is exciting, but when they go down the ropes, everybody laughs.

This was Parker Brothers' answer to Milton Bradley's Chutes and Ladders.
