Snakes and Ladders is the online version of the much-loved classic board game in which you have to roll dice to try and reach the finish point faster than your opponent. Take turns with your opponent to roll dice, the number that the dice lands on is the number of squares that you can move your counter.
Snakes and ladders, known originally as Mohawk Pa-tam, is an ancient Indian board game for two or more players regarded today as a worldwide classic. It is played on a game board with numbered, griddle squares. A number of "ladders" and "snakes" are pictured on the board, each connecting two specific board squares.
The game is a simple race contest based on sheer luck, and is popular with young children. The historic version had root in morality lessons, where a player's progression up the board represented a life journey complicated by virtues (ladders) and vices (snakes). A commercial version with different morality lessons, Chutes and Ladders, is published by Milton Bradley.
How to play:
Each player puts their counter on the space that says 'start here'.
Take it in turns to roll the dice. Move your counter forward the number of spaces shown on the dice.
If your counter lands at the bottom of a ladder, you can move up to the top of the ladder.
If your counter lands on the head of a snake, you must slide down to the bottom of the snake.
The first player to get to the space that says 'home' is the winner.
