Snake and Ladder

Snakes and Ladders is a revered ancient Indian board game that has gained worldwide recognition as a classic. Played between two or more participants on a grid-like gameboard with numbered squares, the board showcases various "ladders" and "snakes," connecting specific squares. The objective of this game is to maneuver one's game piece, guided by dice rolls, from the starting point (bottom square) to the destination (top square), with the help or hindrance of ladders and snakes, respectively.

Notably, Snakes and Ladders is a simple race contest where success hinges solely on luck, making it widely popular among enthusiasts. The historical variant of the game holds deep ties to morality teachings, symbolizing the arduous journey of life intertwined with virtues (represented by ladders) and vices (represented by snakes). A commercial adaptation featuring distinct moral lessons called Chutes and Ladders is published by Milton Bradley.
