  Snakes and ladders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Snakes and Ladders is a classic children's board game played between 2 or more players on a playing board with numbered grid squares.
Snakes and ladders' simplicity and the see-sawing nature of the contest make it popular with younger children, but the lack of any skill component in the game generally makes it less appealing for older players.
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.

 Snakes and Ladders - Postal Rules
Play takes place on a Snakes and Ladders board where the spaces are numbered from 1 to 100.
For example, all spaces in a particular column might be the feet of ladders, and might move the player by ten spaces each ladder.
If a player does not submit a trapdoor nomination, the space that their move takes them to (prior to the use of any ladders, snakes or trapdoors) will be counted as their trapdoor nomination for the round.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - HANKER - Snakes And Ladders
Mechanically perfect upon its unleashing, "Snakes And Ladders" had actually been recorded in late 1999 and shopped around for a deal for a while until it was picked up by fledgling new Canadian label Metal Disk.
"Snakes And Ladders" is all about quality and dirty ass delivery, songs are straight from the burner, no slow progressive stuff, just pure "pedal to the Metal" power deliveries, with smoking guitars, vocal overload and operatic reverence.
After the smoke clears, "Snakes and Ladders" is simply a kick-ass record (no better term for it) that will hold up over the years.

These boards can be any shape or size and snakes and ladders are placed according to specific rules (either relating to the board layout or the square number).

Note that the square on which the victim lands on is acted upon (snake or ladder).
