Hamlet's Conflicts: a twist on snakes & ladders

Students: Julianna Hui and Joyce Tsang. Julianna and Joyce have created a new twist on the traditional "snakes & ladders" board game. The game involves six different aspects of Hamlet's persona: the prince, the son, the avenger, the lover, the philosopher, and the friend. The squares on the board direct the players toward one of the coloured cards (labelled as various flowers). Each card reveals a conflict from the play that will cause each different "Hamlet" to either advance or regress. The slides include a detailed written explanation of the textual analysis that informs the board game.
