Thanks for this , it sent me down a different rabbit hole. I didn't know that Snakes and Ladders had evolved into Chutes and Ladders in the US, or that the game has had so many moral messages over its lifespan. Pleased to have played the morality free version as a child - with some very cute snakes - and yes it's the only one I would know how to play.

Lovely, and so similar to quilt patterns I wonder if they were made by women who also sewed?
I had the same question!
I enjoyed this post-thank you! I love bold, graphic folk art. The snake board is fantastic and I wish it was mine. 🐍
I love these! It takes me back to bring a child playing with old family games. They really are works of art.😍
