Understand the basics of Snakes and Ladders
Choose a round of Snakes and Ladders and settle into its rules. Reach square 100 exactly. A roll past 100 leaves the token where it is. Use the example below to understand a decision. Begin with the same-device two players mode shown on the page. Look at what changes after your first action.
An idea for your next attempt
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
The goal to keep in mind
Reach square 100 exactly. A roll past 100 leaves the token where it is. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Start here and follow along
- Player 1 rolls first, starting before square 1.
- Move the number of squares shown by the die.
- Follow a snake or ladder when landing on its starting square.
- Alternate turns until one player reaches 100.
Using the playing area
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
From square 98, rolling 2 wins. Rolling 3 overshoots and leaves the token at 98. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
A common point of confusion
A roll of six does not grant an extra turn in this version. Check the rule before repeating the action. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
