CONTENTS
To play this game, you will need the following types of equipment:
- A Snakes and Ladders board (the board contains numbers from 1 to 100, some snakes and some ladders)
- A die
- Some playing pieces (depending on the number of players)
SETUP
Before the game gets started, each player is required to roll the die once, and the player who hits the highest number will be the one to play the game with the first turn.
HOW TO PLAY
After deciding who will play the game first, the players start moving their game pieces by following the numbers on the board according to the numbers on the die in each turn. They start from the number one and keep on following the other numbers on the board.
After crossing the first row, in the next one, they will start from right to left (following the numbers). The player will move their pieces according to the die numbers, so if there is 6 on the die and a player is on the number 3 before the die roll, then the player will place its token/piece on the number 9.

GAME RULES
- When a piece comes on a number which lies on the top of a snake (face of the snake), then the piece/token will land below to the bottom of the snake (tail of it) that can also be said as an unlucky move.
- If somehow the piece falls on the ladder base, it will immediately climb to the top of the ladder (which is considered to be a lucky move).
- Whereas if a player lands on the bottom of the snake or top of a ladder, the player will remain in the same spot (same number) and will not get affected by any particular rule. The players can never move down ladders.
- The pieces of different players can overlap each other without knocking out anyone. There is no concept of knocking out by opponent players in Snakes and Ladders.
- To win, the player needs to roll the exact number of die to land on the number 100. If he/she fails to do so, then the player needs to roll the die again in the next turn. For example, if a player is on the number 98 and the die roll shows the number 4, then the player cannot move its piece until he/she gets a 2 to win or 1 to be on the 99th number.
