"Snakes and Ladders requires a level of manual dexterity" This seems an odd thing to say. The only "manual dexterity" you need is to be able to throw the dice.

- cableshaft 7y agoI design board games and play a ton of them, and this threw me also. I don't see how the author thinks there is manual dexterity to Snakes and Ladders. A Dexterity game is a category of board games, and they all involve your ability to physically manipulate components in a way where you could potentially screw it up by misjudging the action you take, is my understanding. There's no way to throw dice in a way where it doesn't give you some sort of result, even if it's not the result you want. If that's all it took to be a Dexterity game, than tens or hundreds of thousands of games with dice in them are now Dexterity games (and currently on sites like BoardGameGeek, they're not).
