Snakes and Ladders game rules ----------------------------- The game can be played by 2 or more players (typically up to 4). The players take turns throwing a single die and moving their markers along the game board by the amount shown on the die. The board has 10 x 10 squares numbered 1 to 100. If a player lands on a square that has the base of a ladder or the head of a snake, the marker is moved to the square at the top of the ladder or the tail of the snake. The first player to reach square 100 wins the game.
