Snake and Ladders Multiplayer

Why We Picked Snake and Ladders Multiplayer

Dice decide nearly everything, and the only real decision is whether you play online, against the computer, or pass one device around: that honesty about luck is the appeal, since a lead can vanish in one roll and a bad position can be rescued by one. Three modes on one page make it useful when the people you want to play with are nearby. A 3.0 rating tells you the presentation has not convinced everyone, even if the board has.

How to Play

Three things decide whether a run here goes well:

• Set the mode first: online, the computer, or a friend on the same device, then roll.
• Reach the final square first; a snake sends you back and a ladder pulls you forward.
• Expect the lead to change hands, and do not count a win until the final square arrives.

Editor’s Note

Best with someone in the room, because the pass-and-play mode needs no waiting and no account. It is a luck game, and it never pretends to be anything else.
