SNAKES & LADDERS
Levels:
Player - rolls 3 dice at a time
Champion - rolls 2 dice at a time
Over Achiever - rolls 1 dice at a time
Rule Breaker - uses no dice, ignores the snakes, ignores the ladders and reads all spaces in whatever order they want (22 books)
ETA: Since the rule breaker does what they want, they can play the game and then fill in the spaces (ie. an Over Achieving Rule Breaker)

How to play:
Choose your level and roll the dice. Move that number of spaces. If you land on the bottom of a ladder you move directly to the space at the top of the ladder. If you land on the head of a snake, you move directly to the space at the tail.
When you land on a space, read a book that relates to that space. When you’ve finished reading, come back and take another turn. If your roll takes you to space 30 or beyond, you land on space 30 and are at the end of the game. SCORE!

There is no time limit and interpretation of the square is pretty much up to you. ‘Murder’ can be in the title or something that happens in the book. ‘Stand alone’ could be a book that’s not part of a series or contain the words ‘stand’ or ‘alone’ in the title. ‘Uncommon genre’ is a genre you don’t normally read or haven’t read lately. Etc.

"I know."
Welcome to the challenge. Have fun see what you've done? ;)

Maybe I can roll 1 die and then go back after I finish the game and read the squares I didn't land on...hmmmm...would that make me an over achieving rule breaker? ;-)
