INTRODUCTION TO SNAKES AND LADDER
In the United States, it is known as Chutes and Ladders and Snakes and Arrows in some parts of India. Snakes and Ladders originated from India in the 13th century, and it was previously known as Mokshpat.
The ladders made on the board are considered to be the blessings while the snakes represent the evil. The game is played widely in Asian countries such as China, India, Pakistan, and others.

CONTENTS
To play this game, you will need the following types of equipment:
- A Snakes and Ladders board (the board contains numbers from 1 to 100, some snakes and some ladders)
- A die
- Some playing pieces (depending on the number of players)
SETUP
Before the game gets started, each player is required to roll the die once, and the player who hits the highest number will be the one to play the game with the first turn.
HOW TO PLAY
After deciding who will play the game first, the players start moving their game pieces by following the numbers on the board according to the numbers on the die in each turn. They start from the number one and keep on following the other numbers on the board.
After crossing the first row, in the next one, they will start from right to left (following the numbers). The player will move their pieces according to the die numbers, so if there is 6 on the die and a player is on the number 3 before the die roll, then the player will place its token/piece on the number 9.
GAME RULES
- When a piece comes on a number which lies on the top of a snake (face of the snake), then the piece/token will land below to the bottom of the snake (tail of it) that can also be said as an unlucky move.
- If somehow the piece falls on the ladder base, it will immediately climb to the top of the ladder (which is considered to be a lucky move).
- Whereas if a player lands on the bottom of the snake or top of a ladder, the player will remain in the same spot (same number) and will not get affected by any particular rule. The players can never move down ladders.
- The pieces of different players can overlap each other without knocking out anyone. There is no concept of knocking out by opponent players in Snakes and Ladders.
- To win, the player needs to roll the exact number of die to land on the number 100. If he/she fails to do so, then the player needs to roll the die again in the next turn. For example, if a player is on the number 98 and the die roll shows the number 4, then the player cannot move its piece until he/she gets a 2 to win or 1 to be on the 99th number.
WINNING
The player who manages to be the first person to reach the top/final square on the board (usually the number 100) wins.
Back in March I reviewed Starburst Snakes and Ladders. Today I'll be looking at its sibling, Nought and Crosses.Head after the jump to read more!
Noughts and Crosses carries a similar idea to S&L - steal a game, mould its key pieces and put a board on the pack of the pack. Genius! Except S&L doesn't really carry over well; you need a die, and the board provided was a bit small for its large pieces. Noughts and Crosses, on the other hand, works a great deal better!
As for the packaging style of S&L and Noughts and Crosses, that mystery has been solved - they appear to be part of a new packaging overhaul of the brand.

Like S&L, the lollies here are made from the same powdered, firm jelly, with the same colours, as used in the Rattlesnakes bag - red, blue, green, yellow, orange and purple. (Interesting to note; the green in this pack is a different shade to the S&L pack.) Each piece is all one colour, though, and the pieces are far smaller than the ladders and snakes; they're each about 3cm in diameter, and about 1cm tall. The crosses are only in red, purple and green, with the noughts in orange, blue and yellow.Red is some sort of berry flavour, possibly strawberry or raspberry. It's sweet, warm and bright.
Purple is also some rendition of berry, though I can't quite pick it. It's quite jammy, and less sweet than red.
Orange is, unsurprisingly, orange. It has a good strong citrus note, with a bit of peel thrown in for realism. It's also fairly sweet, reducing the tang somewhat.

Blue I speculated with S&L is possibly blue raspberry - that fictitious flavour created by lolly manufacturers. While it is flavourful and bright, it is not hugely sweet, and there's a little bit of tanginess on the end note.
Green I think is lime, but it could also be apple - the profile wasn't very distinct. There was a bit of a tangy kick towards the end, but it tasted pretty artifical either way. Not a winner for me
These get an extra point for actual playability, but other than that, they aren't so different to a lot of the other Starburst products that use the same collection of flavours, just in different moulds.Score: 3 out of 5 jelly beans.
