Snakes and Ladders is a board game that originated in India. The game is widely popular in India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the United States, and various other countries. It is a game of luck, strategy, and calculation, and is the most popular dice board game.

Snakes and Ladders is a game for two or four players. A board is divided into a number of lanes or "roads" and a number of "snakes" or "ladders". Players take turns moving their token from the start to the finish line. The player who reaches the finish line first is the winner.

The objective of the game is to move your token from the start to the finish line while avoiding snakes and ladders. You may move your token in any direction, provided that it is not blocked by a wall. A player may not move if the token is on a snake or ladder.
