Yeah man... It's the Fallopian Tube game. The ovaries burst out eggs and you do a die roll to chase them around with the sperm men. The ladders represent some sort of contraceptive devise I think.
You're right though..You lose a turn if you should dare run a white one into a black one. Like your head would blow up or something and the police would have to be notified.
It's been a while...could be confused.

Great!
That game was just a little past my time. Here's one from just before then:

If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
When I was a kid, all we had were rocks. (My birthstone is Lava.)

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
We were so poor, we couldn't afford rocks. In fact, we were so poor, the neighbor had to have me. But I do remember playing C&L a lot as a kid..

When I was a kid we were so poor that if I didn't wake up with an erection I didn't have a thing to play with all day long!

Ok, who here used to regularly eat at Sambos? I remember the decor vividly!
Oh yeah, I did. Tiger running around on the wall. Loved the book. Too bad it was considered a racial slam. I was a little kid, what did I know about racial anything.
