A new board every time
The board is numbered 1 to 100 from the bottom left, snaking back and forth. Ladders are drawn in brown and snakes in green, and no two share a square. Choose few, normal or many, or a blank board.
How to play
- Take turns rolling the die and moving forward.
- Land at the foot of a ladder and climb up; land on a snake’s head and slide down.
- The first to reach 100 with an exact roll wins.
The blank board is a great drawing activity: let children add snakes, ladders and their own rules.
