Rules, controls and help for Snakes and Ladders
Make Snakes and Ladders your next activity in the game library. Reach square 100 exactly. A roll past 100 leaves the token where it is. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Give this approach a try
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
What counts as success
Reach square 100 exactly. A roll past 100 leaves the token where it is. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The playing sequence
- 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.
How to interact with the game
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
An example before you play
From square 98, rolling 2 wins. Rolling 3 overshoots and leaves the token at 98. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
Keep this in mind
A roll of six does not grant an extra turn in this version. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
