Why it matters
Originating in ancient India as the game *Moksha Patam*, this pastime was designed to teach lessons about karma and morality, with ladders representing virtues and snakes representing vices. After its adaptation for Victorian audiences in the late 19th century, it became a staple of family play due to its simple mechanics and the pure, unpredictable nature of chance.
