Plain English
Rules, privacy and disclaimer
Short and plain. Your organizer runs your game. Version 2026-10-05.
Rules
- Your board and every dice throw come from a public random beacon (drand). The organizer and we cannot choose them or know them in advance.
- Every player has their own board, with different snakes and ladders. Every board is checked to be equally hard.
- Each turn is a short window, 20 seconds by default. Tap to throw the dice inside the window. The throw is final.
- In the strict mode, if you do not throw inside the window you miss that turn.
- The software moves your pawn. A snake takes it down, a ladder takes it up. To finish you need the exact number to land on the last square.
- You do not need to claim. The software finds every win for you.
- The software decides every win. Its result is final.
- The organizer and we have no way to add, remove or change a winner in the software.
- A gift is never shared. If players are level, the next measure decides, and the last measure is a random draw anyone can re-check.
- The first player to the milestone square wins a gift. The first five to reach the last square win 1st to 5th place. The game ends when the fifth place is decided.
- You get one board per phone. The organizer may allow two.
- The organizer decides whether family members can join.

- After you pay, you can move the game to any date within 365 days of the payment. Your payment stays with that game.
- If you use the credit for another game first, or the 365 days pass, the game cannot be moved. The credit stays for a new game until it lapses.
- The credit stays in the organizer’s account, and we e-mail the organizer before it lapses.
- Once the start time has passed, a paid game cannot be cancelled. A game never paid for can be cancelled at any time, and nothing is charged.
