Snakes & Ladders Features
What this version of the 100-square race includes, and the choices it lets your table make. The rules themselves are on the how-to-play page.
Two ways to finish
Every match begins with a Choose Game Rules step. Classic Mode ends the moment someone reaches square 100. Last One Standing keeps the board going: each player who reaches 100 takes the next finishing place and drops out of the turn order, and the result screen shows the full order once everyone is home. In an online room the host chooses, and everyone sees the choice in the lobby.
House rules you can switch
- Exact roll to finish — on by default: overshoot 100 and your token stays put. Turn it off and any roll that reaches 100 wins.
- Six rolls again — on by default: a six earns a bonus roll, with at most two sixes in a row.
- Dice timer — 30 seconds to roll by default, adjustable or off. When it runs out the turn passes; nobody rolls on your behalf.
All three live in Settings.
The board
A hand-drawn jungle board with the traditional numbering — square 1 at the bottom left, snaking up to 100 — nine ladders and ten snakes. The biggest ladder runs from 28 to 84, and the biggest drop is the snake on 99, one square from the finish, which sends you down to 27. The full list is on the how-to-play page.
