    if the number five came to you, you would be five in the game and so more up five squares. Now in that game there are alot of ladders and they might be going to the top of the game. If you shook the dice and if it turned a number that would bring you to the foot of a ladder, you could climb the ladder. In the game also there are alot of snakes, if it came to a number that would bring you to the tail of a snake, you should go down along the snake to his head, and continue the game from there etc.
