Snake & Ladder

How to play

  1. Tap Roll dice (or the dice itself) when it is your turn. Your piece moves forward that many squares.
  2. Land at the bottom of a ladder and you climb straight up it.
  3. Land on a snake's head and you slide down to its tail.
  4. Rolling a 6 gives you another turn.
  5. You need the exact number to land on 100. If your roll is too big, you stay where you are.
  6. The first player to reach square 100 wins.

Saanp Seerhi, a game as old as the subcontinent

Snake and Ladder began in ancient India as a game about good and bad deeds: ladders for virtues and snakes for vices. Today it is simply a game of luck that children and grandparents can play together. Race the computer, or pass one phone around for 2, 3 or 4 players. There is no download and no account.
