- This version of Snakes and Ladders is based on the
- Traditional board game, but we have added some simple sums to
- get kids brains working. Besides being just another game it
- should help young children learn to count up to 100 in steps
- of 1 to 6. It's easy - just count on from the square you are
- on, the number thrown on the dice. At the end of the game
- there is a score of how well you have done. You can play
- against the computer or a friend and if you just want to play
- for fun you also have the option of switching the sums off.
-
