Follow the steps for Snakes and Ladders
Choose a round of Snakes and Ladders and settle into its rules. Reach square 100 exactly. A roll past 100 leaves the token where it is. Use the example below to understand a decision. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
An idea for your next attempt

- Move the number of squares shown by the die.
- Follow a snake or ladder when landing on its starting square.
- Alternate turns until one player reaches 100.

An example to follow
From square 98, rolling 2 wins. Rolling 3 overshoots and leaves the token at 98. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
A mistake to avoid
A roll of six does not grant an extra turn in this version. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
