“Snakes & Career Ladders - play the game and see if YOU can be a successful working mother!” By the time their first child has turned 20, working mothers earn on average 30% less than fathers with the same level of education. Snakes & Career Ladders is a satirical board game, which aims to shed light on the issues working mothers have to face when juggling a career and family life. Highly commended by the Creative Conscience awards.
