Snakes and Ladders

Snakes and Ladders is a popular online game inspired by the classic English board game, which also gave rise to the American version, Chutes and Ladders. This easy-to-play game offers both single-player and local multiplayer options, allowing you to enjoy the fun with friends. Roll the dice, advance your piece, and hope you avoid landing on a snake!

How to Play Snakes and Ladders

The game accommodates up to six players, each selecting a unique color. Roll the dice to move your piece, and if you roll a 6, you get an extra turn. Play against friends or AI for a fun challenge.

Climb Ladders - Avoid Snakes

The board features ladders and snakes of various lengths. Landing on a snake sends you sliding down, while landing on a ladder helps you climb higher up the board.

Chutes and Ladders

In addition to Snakes and Ladders, this game also offers the Chutes and Ladders variant. This version replaces snakes with chutes, making it especially suitable for younger players and a favorite in the United States.

About Snakes and Ladders

Snakes and Ladders is a game of pure chance, played on a 100-square board. Players race to the top, where each dice roll can either help or hinder their progress.

Originally, the game served as a tool for teaching children moral lessons, where ladders symbolized virtues and snakes represented vices. Today, it stands as a metaphor for life\'s unpredictable ups and downs.
