How does the game work?
How does the game work?
SNAP into LIFE is loosely based on snakes and ladders and monopoly
Each turn players must answer a question about health e.g. what is more healthy - ice cream, yoghurt or chocolate?
Players answer questions throughout the game on smoking, nutrition, alcohol, physical activity, our bodies, mental health, environmental health and road safety
Players get a chance to advance in the game when they get further education, go out bush or get a job
Obstacles see players move back in the game where poor health may send you down a crocodile or a crisis may see you head backwards to the health centre, on the grog or even prison
