Climb the ladders. Mind the snakes.

Reading this needs nothing. Starting a session needs a nickname, which takes about a minute and asks for no email address.
What it is
Roll, climb, slide. First to land exactly on one hundred wins.
How it plays
- 1
Roll and move. Ladders carry you up, snakes drop you down.
- 2
You need an exact roll to land on the last square.
- 3
First one home wins. There are no decisions to make, which is the point.
The details
- Players
- 2–4 players. The host can set the number in advance, or leave it open and close the door once everyone has arrived.
- How long
- About a few minutes of playing. The session itself lasts as long as the host sets, from an hour to a week, so nobody has to be at their phone at the same time.
- Kind of game
- Board games
- Suitable for
- Anyone. Nothing in it that anybody needs to be warned about.
- What is kept
- Everything written in a session is encrypted, and the whole session is deleted when it ends. What that means.
