How to play Snakes and Ladders
Roll the dice and race your token from square 1 to square 100 — climb ladders, dodge snakes.
Luck swings wildly from triumphant ladder climbs to gut-punch snake drops, so the lead can flip in a single roll.
- Tap Roll on your turn
- Landing on a ladder's base sends you up, landing on a snake's head sends you down
- You need the exact roll to land on 100 — an overshoot forfeits that move
💡 A big roll near the end can overshoot and waste your turn, so watch the exact number you need.
💡 As you close in on square 100, mentally track the exact number you need so you're not blindsided by an overshoot.
