Description

Nobelspelet is a Chutes and Ladders type of game with humorous (but still somewhat realistic) depictions of the steps in a scientific career. Players roll a golden six-sided die and move along the path from birth to the Nobel prize. Good rolls move you ahead fast, poor rolls give you long detours or move you backwards. Ironically (or not!) this game to win the Nobel prize requires no skill. Published jointly by the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm, and Alga in Vittsjö, in honour of the 2001 Centennial of the Nobel prize.
