  Chutes and Ladders
During the game, if you land on a chute or ladder, you will move backward or foreward, respectively, a certain number of squares determined by the endpoint of the chute/ladder.
Hence, in the absence of the chutes and ladders, the matrix A is a diagonal strip of non-zero entries immediately below the diagonal (this is called a band matrix).
By adding chutes and ladders, the band entries swap their non-zero terms with the squares of the endpoints of the respective chute/ladder, and hence, non-zero terms spread somewhat throughout the matrix.

 Cootie, Candyland or Chutes and Ladders: Solving a Parent's Dilemma with Monte Carlo Simulation
Chutes and Ladders is a board game where players spin a pointer to determine how they will advance.
Most of the chutes and ladders produce relatively minor changes in position, however, several produce large gains (if you land on square 28 you advance to square 84) or losses (if you land on square 87 you go back to square 24).
The game length distributions from the modified Chutes and Ladders and Candyland are shown in panels D and E of Figure 1, respectively (note that the vertical scale has been expanded in these last two panels relative to the first three).

 Chutes and Ladders
The interest is caused by the fact that pairs of squares are connected together by ``ladders" (which connect a lower-numbered square to a higher-numbered square) and ``chutes" (which run from high to low).
If a counter lands on the start of a chute or ladder (i.e., this is the square reached after throwing the die), then the counter is moved to the corresponding square at the end of the chute or ladder.
The first part lists the ladders and the chutes on the board, each ladder or chute being defined on a single line.

 Snakes and ladders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The artwork on the board teaches a morality lesson, the squares on the bottom of the ladders show a child doing a good deed and at the top of the ladder there is an image of the child enjoying the reward.
At the top of the chutes there are pictures of children engaging in misbehavior and the images on the bottom show the child suffering the consequences.
Any version of Snakes and Ladders can be represented exactly as a Markov chain, since from any square the odds of moving to any other square are fixed and independent of any previous game history.

 Chutes and Ladders : Retro
Chutes and Ladders began, believe it or not, in ancient India, where it was used to teach Hindu children about right and wrong.
The bases of the ladders stood on squares that symbolized different types of good, and then there were slippery snakes (that’s right—it was snakes back then, not chutes) that snuck out from squares representing various types of evil.
A player’s progress up and through the tiers was determined by his or her turn at the plastic “spinner.” The spinner was flicked or tapped into motion, and a player moved accordingly, arriving at squares that contained examples of good or bad deeds.

Like the original Chutes and Ladders, the game consists of a board of 100 squares, and a spinner with the numbers 1 to 6.
As far as I can tell, the placement of the chutes and ladders is the same as in the original.
While it certainly helps if the children playing the game recognize the numbers 1 to 100, it is also true that if they play the game often enough, they should eventually understand which way they have to move their pieces, though parents or older children may need a lot of patience while this process happens.

This game, even when played on large scale boards [see links], lacks the true sensation of climbing up and sliding down.

Or down the side of a hill, for safety, using steps and slides.
