Ladder Dash

How to play

Hold the die, drag, and release to roll. Your roll appears on the die and the square you should land on glows gold — drag your star (or tap that square) to move there, then any ladder or snake resolves automatically. CPUs roll and hop by themselves. First token to reach square 100 wins the round.

Tips & strategy

Snakes and ladders is mostly luck, but two habits help: pick a higher AI count when you want a quicker race (more chances for someone to climb early), and watch the board — if a snake head sits just a few squares ahead, a careful roll that falls short of it is often safer than a big one that lands on it. Use the ladder-hop rule (on by default) if you prefer a gentler game for kids: every 6 gives an extra turn.
