Snake & Ladder Board Game

Snake & Ladder

The race everyone grew up with, played by the rules Kurdish families actually use: you must roll to get on the board, a six earns another roll, you need an exact roll to finish, and landing on someone sends them home. Two to four players, online or passing one phone around.

📖 How to Play

1

Set Up the Game

Tap the Snake & Ladder card and choose Online, vs Bots, or Pass the Phone. Pick how many players (2 to 4) and whether the kick rule is on.

2

Roll to Get Started

Everyone starts off the board. Tap the die on your turn — you enter the board with your first roll and move forward from there.

3

Ladders Up, Snakes Down

Land on the foot of a ladder and you climb it. Land on a snake's head and you slide all the way down. It is resolved once, at the square you actually finish on.

4

Sixes and the Kick Rule

Roll a six and you go again. If the kick rule is on, finishing your move on a square holding other players sends every one of them back to the start.

5

Finish on an Exact Roll

To win you must land on the final square exactly. Roll higher than you need and your piece bounces back off the end, so the last few squares are their own little puzzle.

Tip 💡: With the kick rule on, sitting a few squares behind a cluster of opponents is a strong place to be — one good roll can send several of them home at once.
