Something to practise
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.
The challenge in front of you
Reach square 100 exactly. A roll past 100 leaves the token where it is. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step
- Player 1 rolls first, starting before square 1.
- Move the number of squares shown by the die.
- Follow a snake or ladder when landing on its starting square.
- Alternate turns until one player reaches 100.
Making selections and moves
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Learn from a sample situation
From square 98, rolling 2 wins. Rolling 3 overshoots and leaves the token at 98. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
A common point of confusion
A roll of six does not grant an extra turn in this version. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
