LADDERS is a highly challenging, fast paced, dice game that requires
some luck and good strategy.  The object of the game is to "capture" 
three ladders.  Even though there are eleven ladders on the board, you 
will only be able to "climb" five of the eleven.  The five ladders are 
determined by the first five ladders you start to climb.

After the computer rolls the four dice, you must group the dice into two 
pairs, the sum of each pair denoting a particular ladder on the board. 
The computer places a marker on the lowest rung of the ladders pointed 
to by the dice. The player may then roll again, pairing the dice as 
before, either to advance an existing marker one more rung up a ladder 
or to place a new   marker on a different ladder (up to a maximum of 5)
or you "capture" three ladders.  To "capture" a ladder, you must reach 
the top of the ladder.

To adjust for the fact that some numbers come up more often than others,
each ladder is a different height,  corresponding to the chance of that
number being rolled.  This means that ladder seven is the longest,  and 
ladders two and twelve are the shortest.




Choosing "Q" in place of a die number, will save the game in progress 
and allow you to pick up the game the next time you call. Pressing "0" 
in place of a die number will allow you to re-enter the die number(s).

Careful planning of which ladders to climb,  as well as good old LUCK, 
will decide the outcome of LADDERS. GOOD LUCK!
