About this game

Snakes and Ladders, known originally as Moksha Patam, is an ancient Indian board game regarded today as a worldwide classic. It is played between two or more players on a gameboard having numbered, gridded squares. A number of "ladders" and "snakes" are pictured on the board, each connecting two specific board squares. The object of the game is to navigate one's game piece, according to die rolls, from the start (bottom square) to the finish (top square), helped or hindered by ladders and snakes respectively.

The game is a simple race contest based on sheer luck, and is popular with young children. The historic version had root in morality lessons, where a player's progression up the board represented a life journey complicated by virtues (ladders) and vices (snakes). A commercial version with different morality lessons, Chutes and Ladders, is published by Milton Bradley.

The Chutes and Ladders, and Gyan chauper games are also similar to this game.

Ratings and reviews

To be honest, this is actually really good. It's hands-down the best Snakes & Ladders game out there, I'm not joking. The dice are truly randomized, the layout is really good (wish is was slightly larger, or adjustable), nothing is fixed and there's plently of boards to switch between. The advertisements only pop-up after a game and they only last about 5 seconds (no in-game ads). I highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys the game. 9/10; The only thing it needs is more settings.

it's really a nice game when ever I have some free time to relax i mostly play this lovely game very entertaining and One more thing introduce a dice that can move freely like rotating around like am throwing it it would add some more fun to play the game I like it keep it up developers thanks

Great little game. I downloaded the game to try it first. lol. Then past it on to my austic son. he loves it. The rules I grew up with are: you needed a 6 to start. when you got your piece in the finish square you did not have to roll again.
