Snakes And Ladders - A Classic Board Game
Snakes and Ladders is a classic board game that originated in ancient India and is now available as a free Android game developed by Paleblue. It is a simple race contest based solely on luck and is popular with young children. The game is played between two or more players on a game board with numbered, gridded squares. The objective of the game is to navigate one's game piece, according to die rolls, from the start to the finish, helped or hindered by ladders and snakes respectively.
The game follows a fixed route marked on the game board which usually follows a boustrophedon (ox-plow) track from the bottom to the top of the playing area, passing once through every square. If a player lands on the lower-numbered end of a ladder, the player must move the token up to the ladder's higher-numbered square. If the player lands on the higher-numbered square of a snake, the token must move down to the snake's lower-numbered square. The player who reaches the final square of the track first is the winner. With its simple gameplay and easy-to-understand rules, Snakes and Ladders is a great game for players of all ages.
