Snakes & Ladders variants
Other ways to play Snakes & Ladders, each one ready to play here. Read how a variant changes the rules, then start a game with it chosen in the table setup.
Snakes & Ladders on an 8×8 board
A smaller board of 64 squares with seven ladders and five short snakes, for quicker games and younger players.
Snakes & Ladders on a 12×12 board
A larger board of 144 squares with thirteen ladders and twelve snakes, for a longer race with more ups and downs.
Snakes & Ladders with bounce back
A roll that would carry a token past the last square takes it to the last square and back again by the squares left over.
Snakes & Ladders with three sixes void
A 6 still earns another roll, but a third 6 in a row is void: the token stays where it is and the turn passes.
Snakes & Ladders without the extra roll
A 6 is an ordinary roll: every turn is a single roll of the die and the turn always passes.
