Snake & Ladder
The timeless race to 100 — roll the die, ride the ladders, slip down the snakes.
Snakes and Ladders on FateRound follows classic rules: take turns rolling a single die and moving along the 1–100 board. Land on the bottom of a ladder to climb up; land on a snake’s head to slide down to its tail. Roll a 6 to take another turn. You must land on square 100 exactly to win — overshoot and your token stays put.

Game rules & how to play
Objective
- Be the first player to move your token to square 100 on the 1–100 board.
- You must land on 100 with an exact roll. The first player to do that wins immediately.
Setup
- 2–6 players join a room and each gets a colored token starting just off square 1.
- Turn order is set when the host starts. An optional per-turn timer keeps the game moving.
- On your turn you roll a single die and move forward that many squares.
Ladders & snakes
- Finish your move on the bottom of a ladder to climb up to its top.
- Finish your move on a snake’s head to slide down to its tail.
- You only jump when you land exactly on that square — passing over it does nothing.
Rolling a 6
- Roll a 6 and you take another turn straight away.
- Roll three 6s in a row and your turn is forfeited — no move on the third six.
Winning
- You must reach square 100 exactly. If a roll would take you past 100, your token stays put.
- The first token to land on 100 wins the game.
