Climb the ladders and avoid the snakes
If your piece lands on a square that has the bottom of a ladder, you can move up to the square that has the top of the ladder. This will give you a shortcut and an advantage. However, if your piece lands on a square that has the head of a snake, you have to move down to the square that has the tail of the snake. This will set you back and make you lose your progress.
The original version of the game was called Moksha Patam, which means "the ladder to salvation". It was a game of morality, where the ladders represented virtues and the snakes represented vices. The game was used to teach children about the Hindu concept of karma and the cycle of rebirth.
The game was brought to England by the British colonialists in the 19th century, and was renamed Snakes And Ladders. The game was adapted to suit the Victorian values, and the Snakes And Ladders were given moral meanings, such as honesty, humility, faith, etc. The game was also popularized by the Milton Bradley Company, which introduced it in the US as Chutes and Ladders.
