Auf Teufel komm raus!

The little devils haven't been naughty enough and are punished: They have to go to heaven! Of course they don't like that idea much. Each player competes with his/her neighbors for an individual step on the ladder to heaven: The loser goes up one step. The decision about who the loser is can be made by simple die rolls, making it a completely random (but extremely beautiful) game; other mechanisms such as rock-paper-scissors or more complex ones can be (and are usually) used when playing with adults.
