Snakes and Ladders: rules and examples
Open Snakes and Ladders, check the instructions and begin a round. 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. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
A focus for your next round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
Aim for this result
Reach square 100 exactly. A roll past 100 leaves the token where it is. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
The steps to play
- 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.
Your inputs
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. 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. Keep the controls nearby.
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. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
