 (AD-1700's) The game snakes and ladders is based on a Indian game about religion. The Victorians must have liked the game and made new sort of game. Many people have played the game and would know the rules. You roll the dice and how ever many numbers you roll you move. If you land on a ladder you climb up, if it’s a snake you slide down it. If you land on an empty square nothing happens and your turn is over. The person who reaches square 100 wins!
