Transcript: Why did people play this game? As said before, the purpose of the game was to differentiate between virtue and evil. Traditional Hindu philosophies were also incorporated into the game, such as karma and kama (destiny and desire). It was used as a lesson for children so that they could learn about God and what was considered virtuous. There were moral teachings behind this origin of this game. These teachings encompassed the idea that there was the ability to attain salvation through doing good, whereas performing evil deeds will provide evil rebirth. Snakes and Ladders: an Origin Story Conflicts of Snakes and Ladders The game, as said before, was developed mainly to serve the purpose of teaching children the virtues and evils of the world. Why did people play Snakes and Ladders? The Continuity and Changes of Snakes and Ladders Saint Gyandev/ Dnyaneshwar The first play of Snakes and Ladders was recorded in the thirteenth century AD when it was invented. However, it is believed that Snakes and Ladders was played dating all the way back to the second century BC in the Northern regions of India. Though there is not any significant conflict that was marked in history as a prominent event, there still was the fact that Europe stole the whole “snakes and ladders” idea and made it their own. Around the time that this idea was diffused, Indian was under British rule and tensions were already high. The fact that their virtuous game was turned into something western just increased tensions and made the British rulers more susceptible to rebellion. When and where was Snakes and Ladders first played? The game “snakes and ladders” was invented by Saint Gyandev. The fact that he was a saint alludes to the whole purpose of the board game, which it about differentiating between virtue and evil. From being used in the second century BC, the game has evolved by diffusing all across the globes, with certain cultures adding their adaptations to it. A rather large example is in Europe, where the adopted the name of “Chutes and Ladders” which is how we know it today. This was developed in 1892, where the common Victorian Philosophies were incorporated. The ladders represented thrift, penitence, and industry which would build up to squares of fulfillment, grace, and success. The snakes (which were later turned into chutes) were a representation of indulgence, disobedience, and indolence which would cause illness, disgrace and poverty. Who invented Snakes and Ladders? Why was the game developed? This game was popular to children of all backgrounds. However, those of the lower class typically could not afford the game, so there would be much less playing in those classes than in the others. Those in the Brahman class were more likely to play and pass on the message to their children.

Snakes and Ladders

Transcript: Snakes and Ladders from ancient India to stores near you Origins Origins Originally called Moksha Patam Dealt with Hindi idea of moksha Meant as a way to teach how karmic actions were met with repercussions good and bad Jain Jain Board Similar to Hindi board, except there are more snakes (potential downfalls) Also encompasses ideas of moksha and karma UK UK The game was picked up by Britain during their rule of India, the theme of morality appealing to victorian audiences First version in England in 1892 When the game was brought to England, the Indian virtues and vices were replaced by English ones in hopes of better reflecting Victorian doctrines of morality. Squares of Fulfillment, 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. 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. concept of equality signifies the cultural ideal that for every sin one commits, there exists another chance at redemption. Did you Know from wikipedia.com Milton Bradley Milton Bradley Milton Bradley brings game to the US in 1943 Originally released with snakes, which was not recieved well by children Uses a spinner instead of a die Black Children first depicted in 1974 A Problem of Appropriation Appropriation Cultural appropriation is "the unacknowledged or inappropriate adoption of the customs, practices, ideas, etc. of one people or society by members of another and typically more dominant people or society." (Dictionary,com) The problem with the game from the Victorian Board onward is the theft of a cultural ideal to serve as a children parlor game with no recognition of the original or its cultural and religious significance of including Karma and Moksha. Instead perverted to just be about being nice, totally simplifying the entirety of Hindu and Jain religion. Problem with Appropriation The Problem Our Board Our Board Our board pays homage to the Mahabharata by having each ladder and snake be a scene from a comic book depiction of the epic Go back to snakes and die, paying homage to the historical way the game is played We teach morality and the ideas of Karma and Moksha by making a version of the game that educates, not just imitates Education over Imitation Appropriation A player will need an average of 39.2 spins to move from the starting point, which is off the board, to square 100. A two-player game is expected to end in 47.76 moves with a 50.9% chance of winning for the first player. Those calculations are based on a variant where throwing a six does not lead to an additional roll; and where the player must roll the exact number to reach square 100 and if they overshoot it their counter does not move.
