The goal to keep in mind

Reach square 100 exactly. A roll past 100 leaves the token where it is. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

  2. Move the number of squares shown by the die.
  3. Follow a snake or ladder when landing on its starting square.
  4. Alternate turns until one player reaches 100.

Using the playing area

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Work through an example

From square 98, rolling 2 wins. Rolling 3 overshoots and leaves the token at 98. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.

One detail worth checking

A roll of six does not grant an extra turn in this version. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
