...Snakes and Ladders! An old game played by kids, A good classic game. You all know the rules, you have all played the game, so why are you even reading this review? Good question, yes, but the other question is, Why am I writing it? The answer is this:-.

...Snakes & Ladders is a simple game which children enjoy to play anywhere, anytime. HOW TO PLAY You begin at the "Start" square, and roll the dice and move your counter that many spaces. The first one to get to the "End" sqaure, is the winner. It's not all simple, because if you land on a snake, you have to go down to the square where the snake trail ends. But, if you're lucky, and land on the bottom of a ladder, you go up to the square where the top of the ladder ends. Simple! TYPE OF GAME It's all luck. You roll a dice and move. It's THAT type of game! LENGTH OF AVERAGE GAME I'd say the average game takes about 10-15 minutes. It's fun to kill some time! MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PLAYERS None really, but I'd say 4 players, with a minimum of 2. HOW COMPLICATED IS THE GAME TO SET UP It's very easy to set up, you just... Read review
