Origin
Sugoroku originates from the old Japanese game, Sugoroku. Sugoroku refers to two different forms of Japanese board game, one similar to western backgammon, called ban-sugoroku, and the other similar to western Snakes and ladders (Most likely the one she's based off of). Sugoroku plays identically to backgammon (it even has the same starting position), except for the following differences:


 * Doubles are not special. If a player rolls doubles, each die still counts only once.
 * There is no "bearing off". The goal is to move all of one's men to within the last six spaces of the board.
 * There is no doubling cube.
 * It is not permitted to form a prime of six contiguous points to obstruct one's opponent.
