A giant form of snakes and ladders with a food emphasis is played by schoolchildren in Leeds, England. Organised by the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief (Oxfam), the game is designed to focus the attention of children on the millions of starving people in the world. The game is played with a giant die. Set-backs, such as the failure of rice crops or drought, and successes, such as a good harvest, determine whether a player drops down a snake or climbs up a ladder.
