Snakes & Ladders Dash
Play Snakes & Ladders Dash now · free, no download, no sign-up
Snakes & Ladders Dash is the familiar race to square 100, with a tumbling 3-D die and five colourful boards. You tap the die, your pawn hops forward, ladders lift you up and snakes send you sliding down. It is a game of luck that everyone already knows, which makes it ideal for families, younger players and quick breaks.
To add a little choice to the luck, the optional Dash rules hand out power cards on star squares: a shield against the next snake, a double roll, or a swap with the leader. You can also race the board alone and try to finish in as few rolls as possible.
How to play
- Tap the die to roll; your pawn moves forward that many squares.
- Land at the foot of a ladder to climb up it.
- Land on a snake's head and you slide down to its tail.
- Rolling a 6 gives you another roll.
- The first player to reach square 100 wins; you do not need an exact roll.
- With Dash rules on, star squares give power cards; tap a card before you roll to use it.

Tips
- Save Swap for when the leader is far ahead of you.
- Double is most useful early, when big rolls mean big jumps.
- Keep a Shield for the top rows: square 100 is close, and so are the longest snakes.
- In Solo Dash, every ladder matters, so track which rolls land you on one.
- Swap does nothing if nobody is ahead of you, so don't waste it while leading.
About the game
Snakes and ladders is an old race game that started in India, where the ladders stood for good deeds and the snakes for bad ones. This version keeps the classic 100-square board and adds five themed boards (Meadow, Jungle, Candy, Desert and Starry Night), each with its own layout, which you unlock with stars or coins.
On a phone you play in portrait with one thumb, and passing the device around the table feels like a real board game. On a desktop the board is larger and easy to follow for the whole family on one screen.
