Facts The present Snakes and Ladders game is based on the

ancient Indian game ‘Moksha Patam’. This game was initially
a symbol of Hindu culture and was used as a means to teach

children the difference between good and evil. It involved
sliding down snakes, which stood for evil, and rising ladders,
which represented good.
