The game has also been interpreted and used as a tool for teaching the effects of good deeds versus bad. The underlying ideals of the game inspired a version introduced in Victorian England in 1892. It emphasized destiny, as opposed to games such as pachisi, which focused on life as a mixture of skill (free will ) and luck. It was also associated with traditional Hindu philosophy contrasting karma and kama, or destiny and desire. Gyan chaupar ( Jain version of the game), National Museum, New DelhiGyan chauper/ jnan chauper (game of wisdom), the version associated with the Jain philosophy encompassed the concepts like karma and Moksha.The game was popular in ancient India by the name Moksha Patam. The game made its way to England and was sold as "Snakes and Ladders", then the basic concept was introduced in the United States as Chutes and Ladders (an "improved new version of England's famous indoor sport" ) by game publisher Milton Bradley Company in 1943.
The number of ladders was less than the number of snakes as a reminder that a path of good is much more difficult to tread than a path of sins. The morality lesson of the game was that a person can attain salvation ( Moksha) through doing good, whereas by doing evil one will be reborn as lower forms of life. The ladders represented virtues such as generosity, faith, and humility, while the snakes represented vices such as lust, anger, murder, and theft.
This concept of equality signifies the cultural ideal that for every sin one commits, there exists another chance at redemption.The association of Britain's snakes and ladders with India and gyan chauper began with the returning of colonial families from one of Britain's most important imperial possessions, India. While the Indian version of the game had snakes outnumbering ladders, the English counterpart was more forgiving as it contained each in the same amount. Squares of Fulfilment, Grace and Success were accessible by ladders of Thrift, Penitence and Industry and snakes of Indulgence, Disobedience and Indolence caused one to end up in Illness, Disgrace and Poverty.
In Bengali speaking region, West Bengal in India and Bangladesh, it is known as Shap Shiri or Shapludu respectively. In Tamil Nadu the game is called Parama padam and is often played by devotees of Hindu god Vishnu during the Vaikuntha Ekadashi festival in order to stay awake during the night. In Hindi, this game is called Saanp aur Seedhi, Saanp Seedhi and Mokshapat. There has even been evidence of a possible Buddhist version of the game existing in India during the Pala-Sena time period.In Andhra Pradesh, this game is popularly called Vaikunthapali or Paramapada Sopana Patam (the ladder to salvation) in Telugu. Although the game's sense of morality has lasted through the game's generations, the physical allusions to religious and philosophical thought in the game as presented in Indian models appear to have all but faded. By the 1940s very few pictorial references to Indian culture remained, due to the economic demands of the war and the collapse of British rule in India.
If, on completion of a move, a player's token lands on the lower-numbered end of a "ladder", the player moves the token up to the ladder's higher-numbered square. Tokens follow a fixed route marked on the gameboard which usually follows a boustrophedon (ox-plow) track from the bottom to the top of the playing area, passing once through every square. Players take turns rolling a single die to move their token by the number of squares indicated by the die rolled. The illustrations show good deeds and their rewards bad deeds and their consequences.Each player starts with a token on the starting square (usually the "1" grid square in the bottom left corner, or simply, off the board next to the "1" grid square). Gameplay Milton Bradley Chutes and Ladders gameboard c. The squares of vice or evil are: Disobedience (41), Vanity (44), Vulgarity (49), Theft (52), Lying (58), Drunkenness (62), Debt (69), Murder (73), Rage (84), Greed (92), Pride (95), and Lust (99).
The illustration has five tokens (and a five by five board). Instead of tokens for each player, there is a store of indistinguishable tokens shared by all players. (For example, if a player requiring a 3 to win rolls a 5, the token moves forward three spaces, then back two spaces.) In certain circumstances (such as a player rolling a 5 when a 1 is required to win), a player can end up further away from the final square after their move, than before it.In the book Winning Ways the authors propose a variant which they call Adders-and-Ladders which, unlike the original game, involves skill. Depending on the variation, if the die roll is too large, the token either remains in place or goes off the final square and back again. The player who is first to bring their token to the last square of the track is the winner.Variants exists where a player must roll the exact number to reach the final square.
The theme of the board design is playground equipment, showing children climbing ladders and descending chutes.The artwork on the board teaches morality lessons: squares on the bottom of the ladders show a child doing a good or sensible deed, at the top of the ladder there is an image of the child enjoying the reward squares at the top of the chutes show children engaging in mischievous or foolish behavior, on the bottom of the chute the image shows the children suffering the consequences.Black children were depicted in the Milton Bradley game for the first time in 1974. It is played on a 10x10 board, and players advance their pieces according to a spinner rather than a die. The playground setting replaced the snakes, which were disliked by children at the time. Specific editions The most widely known edition of snakes and ladders in the United States is Chutes and Ladders, released by Milton Bradley in 1943.
