In The Smurfs: Snakes & Ladders, players roll and move their pawns in a race to the finish line, using ladders to their advantage and falling down slides when they can't avoid it. But not only players are taking part in the race: Gargamel is chasing the Smurfs from behind, threatening to catch them. This added dynamic element serves to add freshness and excitement to an old formula and makes the game deeply immersive for young players.
