How to play
- 1
Set up the players: tap each player button to switch between Human, Computer and Not playing (2 to 4 players).

On your turn, tap Roll the dice. Your token moves forward the number shown, square by square, from Start towards 100.

Land on the foot of a ladder and you climb up; land on a snake’s head and you slide down to its tail.
- 4
Roll a 6 and you get another turn.

The first player to reach square 100 wins. With Exact roll on, you need the exact number to land on 100; with it off, any big enough roll finishes.
Tips
- It is a game of luck — enjoy the ride and count the squares aloud with children.
- Turn Exact roll off for a quicker game with young children.
- Play with Computer players to fill the board when you are alone.

About this game
Snakes & Ladders is the race game everyone in India grows up with — known in Tamil homes as Paramapadam. Each player rolls a dice and moves along a 10×10 board from 1 to 100. Ladders lift you up, snakes bring you down, and nobody is safe until the very last square.
This version has a colourful original board with 9 snakes and 8 ladders, an animated dice and tokens that hop square by square. Play with 2 to 4 players in any mix of people and computer, pass the phone around, and choose whether you need an exact roll to finish on 100. It is free, needs no sign-up and works on mobile.

Questions
Is this the same as Paramapadam?
Yes, it is the same idea. Paramapadam (பரமபதம்) is the traditional Tamil version, played especially during Vaikunta Ekadasi nights, where ladders stand for good deeds and snakes for bad ones. The snakes and ladders here are placed on our own original board.
Do I need a 1 or a 6 to start?
No. In this version every token starts just before square 1 and moves with any roll.
What happens if I roll more than I need near 100?
With Exact roll on (the default), you stay where you are and the turn passes. With it off, your token stops on 100 and you win.
Can computers play against each other?
Yes. You can set any mix of human and computer players. If all players are computers, just sit back and watch.
Is the dice fair?
Yes. Each roll uses your browser’s secure random number generator, so every face from 1 to 6 is equally likely.
