The game of goose

This game is well known in The Netherlands but I never really liked playing it. A few months ago we played it with our kids, I suddenly had flashbacks and remembered why I didn't like it: The goose can end up in jail, can fall into a waterwell or even worse, can die! My kids were scared to throw that dice and I remembered feeling the same way.
However, the game is beautiful to look at, the illustrations are cute and very colourful.
