Chutes and Canons

This game, Chutes and Canons, riffs off of the popular board game Chutes and Ladders except with a few major differences. Up to 4 players can play and the objective of the game is to make it to the last square on the pathway set out on the board. Each turn, the player whose turn it is will roll a die and move their tokens however many spaces the die comes up to be. If they land on a space without a chute or ladder their turn ends but if they land on a space with a chute or ladder they will have to answer a question about one of the five canons which will be on cards that are drawn from each time a question is needed. If they land on a chute and answer the question correctly they remain on the space they landed on, otherwise they go down the chute. If they land on a ladder and answer the question correctly they go up the ladder, otherwise they remain where the die put them. Once the players draw close to the last space, they must roll the exact number of spaces it would take to get to the last space and also answer a question correctly to successfully move to it and win the game.
