Play Snake & Ladder Fun Race Classic Puzzle Board Dice Game Offline no Wifi 2024. Snakes and Ladders is a chance-based board game featuring 100 squares. Players must get to the top while dealing with the consequences of every dice roll. Snakes and Ladders is a board game for two or more players regarded today as a worldwide classic. The game originated in ancient India as Moksha Patam and was brought to the United Kingdom in the 1890s. It is played on a game board with numbered, gridded squares. Many "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 by climbing ladders but hindered by falling snakes.
The game is a simple race based on sheer luck, and it is popular with young children. The historic version had its roots in morality lessons, on which a player's progression up the board represented a life journey complicated by virtues (ladders) and vices (snakes). Snakes and Ladders originated as part of a family of Indian dice board games, including gyan chauper and pachisi (known in English as Ludo and Parcheesi). It made its way to England and was sold as "Snakes and Ladders"
Gyan chauper, or jnan chauper, (game of wisdom), the version associated with the Jain philosophy, encompassed the concepts like karma and Moksha. A version popular in the Muslim world is known as Shatranj al'urafa and exists in various versions in India, Iran, and Turkey. In this version, based on sufi philosophy, the game represents the dervish's quest to leave behind the trappings of worldly life and achieve union with God. In Andhra Pradesh, this game is popularly called Vaikunthapali or Paramapada Sopana Patam (the ladder to salvation) in Telugu. In Hindi, this game is called Saanp aur Seedhi, Saanp Seedhi and Mokshapat. In Tamil Nadu, the game is called Parama padam and is often played by devotees of the Hindu god Vishnu during the Vaikuntha Ekadashi festival to stay awake at night. In Bengali-speaking regions, West Bengal in India and Bangladesh, it is known as Shap Shiri or Shapludu respectively
