Contained within are representations of 15 vintage, physical editions', layouts
of this internationally popular boardgame. These include the following:
Versions sold by Betal, Canada Games Co., Thomas Salter, Milton Bradley (and Spears),
Kay, Bell, British Manufacturer, a 'National series' (from 1901), Harlesden, etc. A bullseye layout
(H P G & Sons) is modified from an original 144 squares' board. Most of these game versions no longer
exist within the general marketplace. Individual variants, here, are available for either 2, 3, or 4 players. Snakes and Ladders has a longer development history within the region of Southern Asia.
Object: Reach the 100th square. Roll the die, and move your board piece accordingly.
Playing Description: Click upon the left-side of the board for a new die at each turn. Landing upon either
a Ladder or a Snake square will require a continued (partial) turn as indicated.
Winning requires an exact landing roll onto square 100. The Win Announcement occurs with a player's next turn's dice roll. In multi-player
variants, the Announcement occurs after all but one have reached onto square 100. A player that rolls a six, plays again. Three sixes in a roll forces that player back to
square one. Reaching square 100 with a six still requires a continuation dice-turn(s).
