- Roll the Dice: Press the Spacebar or Enter key when it's your turn to roll the dice
- Watch Your Movement: Your game piece will automatically move the number of spaces shown on the dice
- Use Ladders: If you land on a square with the bottom of a ladder, you'll climb up to the square at the top of the ladder
- Avoid Snakes: If you land on a square with a snake's head, you'll slide down to the square at the tail of the snake
