Everyone was joyously talking with each other, making jests, and laughing loudly as the moonlight party proceeded. At the tail end of the party Rickard stood up and tapped his glass to get everyone's attention.

"One of our chefs have come up with a new dish called merstrik. It can be eaten as snack and will not spoil for an year. We look forward to your valuable opinions." said as the servants served merstrik.

Merstrik was an air dried meat and could be marinated in salts, spices and sugars. Vinegar was always used in preparation giving slight tangy flavor. As people began to eat it they noticed merstrik was soft and chewy in addition to being slightly tangy and spicy.

"This merstrik is very delicious. What it's made out of?" Some asked.

"It has different flavors but every single merstrik has slight tangy flavor." As with everything there were people who wouldn't like tangy flavor.

"But sweet flavor hides almost all of sourness of it." Some liked sweet and sour flavor. Different people expressed their views.

Rickard thanked everyone "I appreciate your honest thoughts about merstrik. Definitely our chefs will take in your suggestions and will make this better."

Moonlight dinner party came to an end and all the guests returned. Only Flint family and their servants remained. As they were chatting Rickard abruptly said " I have a fun board game we can play. "

It was the old game from a blue planet called snakes and ladders. Rickard explained the rules.

"You will cast these two cube dices made from ebony and birch simultaneously. You will move your piece forward as many as the number on your ebony dice first and then birch dice. After moving your piece according to ebony dice if you encounter ladder your piece will go up the ladder; if you encounter a snake's mouth then your piece will move down along the snake. If you encountered snake or ladder again your piece will move accordingly.

If your ebony dice rolled the number 6 you can reroll the dice after you moved your 6 tiles. Or you can choose to move according to your birch dice first and then reroll the ebony dice. First one to reach 100th tile wins. "

This was how Flint's house came to know about snake and ladders game. Which wpuld eventually become one of the popular game among the people of planetos.
