The timeless game Snakes & Ladders originated in 13th-century India. Taamaa's modern twist features a beautifully designed board in a balsa wood box with a soft-touch finish and vibrant graphics, made from renewable materials and leather discards. Historically, Snakes & Ladders was rooted in morality, with virtues and vices represented by the ladders and snakes. These ideals inspired a version of the game in Victorian England in 1892 that later became Chutes & Ladders in the U. S. A game of strategy and luck that mirrors the uncertainty and unpredictability of life. DETAILS 2 to 4 players. Balsa box prevents dice from escaping.
