About Snake & Ladder

Snake & Ladder Online is a free, classic board game that runs entirely in your browser. There is nothing to download, no account to create and no waiting — open the page and the first roll is one click away.

What makes it different

• Playable on a phone, tablet or desktop — the board and side panel stack on narrow screens.
• 2 to 4 players on the same device, with live position readouts for everyone.
• Authentic boustrophedon board numbering (1 at the bottom-left, 100 at the top-left).
• Classic rules: a 6 gives you another roll, three 6s in a row sends you back to the start, and you need an exact 100 to win.
• Animated dice and animated pawns that walk square by square, climb ladders and slide down snakes.

How it is built

The whole game is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript — no framework, no build step and no runtime dependencies. The board layout and the game rules live in a single file (rules.js), and every rule is covered by an automated test suite (test.js) that plays hundreds of full games to prove the game always finishes.

How it is funded

The Game is free to play and is supported by advertising. Ads are served by Google AdSense and clearly marked, and they never block gameplay. We do not sell or share personal information — see the Privacy Policy for details.
