Daves and Ladders

Roll the dice!

Instructions

Dave the Athlete

You are an amazing Tennis player! I am a pretty bad pickleball player but I would be much worse if it weren’t for those night playing tennis at the park. You and mom make a great team (both in tennis and in life)!

One of One Dave

Although having the name Dave has come with its challenges (hence the book Too Many Daves) it is a great name with a great namesake. Of all the Daves you two are the very best.

Dave the king of India

The greatest travel challenge for a travel dad must have been this trip. Even after being stolen from and losing access to your bank, you took everything in stride and this trip was a blast. I admire how level and wise you are in the face of stress!

Dave the Celebrity

Dave looks like many a celebrity. People have even compared him to George Clooney. They are twins. People often mistake Dave for an A list celeb.

Dave the wholehearted

Everyone knows that Dave has a heart of gold ❤️ (and Dorito chips). The world is so lucky to have had you for 60 years. Cheers to 60 more!

Dave's a role model

Thanks for being such an amazing role model since Jenna and I were teeny tiny. One of my earlier memories is running away from waves with you in Half Moon Bay. You’re just an amazing dad.

Dave the Bay Area Bro

You are the Original San Francisco man. I’ll always remember the Wacky and Weird tour of San Francisco that you gave us. Our day trips to San Fran have always been some of my favorite family memories.

Dave the heartbreaker

Per Grandma’s stories - Dave was a total heartthrob in high school. His French teacher told Grandma that all the girls in his French class had trouble focused because they were so into Dave. Classic.

Dave's a treat

Dave can always be counted on to be down for a yummy food truck or snack bar moment - from Jenna’s softball games to concerts in the park. And wearing a cool shirt while doing it. Yum!

Dave the Dreamer

Dave is a big supporter of dreams! From helping on Econ and math homework to cheering everyone on in their career goals, Dave is always there.

SNAKES

INSTRUCTIONS

Players start with a token - which represents each of them - in the initial square and take turns rolling the die. The tokens move according to the numbering on the board, in ascending order. If, at the end of a move, a player lands on a square where a ladder begins, they move up it to the square where it ends. If, on the other hand, they land on a square where a snake's tail begins, they move down it to the square where its head ends. If a player rolls a 6, they can move twice in a single turn. If a player rolls three consecutive 6's, they must return to the initial square and cannot move their token until they roll a 6 again. The player who reaches the final square is the winner. Once you reach square 55, you must roll a 5 exactly to move forward to the winning square number 60!

If the player falls on the bottom of a ladder, they move up to the top square where the ladder ends.

Ladders

If the player lands on a square where the tail of a snake starts, they go down to a lower square where the headis located.
