The first to reach 100 wins the game.Answer
The game of Chutes and Ladders, a favorite game since 1943. With each spin you move steadily along, climbing the ladder as a result of good deeds, or sliding down the chute due to naughtiness. Hounds and Jackals, the ancient game of Egypt, is also the earliest known example, and possibly the original form, of the 'Snakes and Ladders' game.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
