saanp sedhi game



  • The winning or losing depends on sheer dumb luck which is why I just love this game
    ! If you are the type who is good at rolling dice and getting the number you want, you will not be wasting that precious talent trying it on Snakes and Ladders! Hehe!
    Snakes and ladders is available almost everywhere – starting from local trains and streets in Mumbai to every toy shop worth its salt. It should cost you anywhere between 15bucks to maybe maximum of Rs.100 which will be one of those 5 in 1 kind of boards.
    It’s difficult to NOT enjoy the game even today (a reflection on my IQ I guess!), but its sheer simplicity makes it so enjoyable just for a few real laughs and fake groans when you go down the snake!
    It is usually a big hit with kids because it’s so easy to learn and can be played with lots of friends as long as you have those different coloured pawns to differentiate between players. If not anything else, they are sure to learn their numbers to 100 and to win and lose in turns.
    This may sound farfetched, but isn’t our life a lot like Snakes Ladders too? WE roll the dice (do what we should) and then move. Sometimes it takes us to unexpectedly quick success… that elusive ladder we get. At times, a sudden fall because of circumstances… the snake that pushed you down. Most other times we just keep moving at our own pace without any major hurdles. Eventually we reach our destination through all the Snakes and Ladders and those plain blocks.
    Of course, in our life luck plays a smaller role I guess, yet the similarity is uncanny, won’t you agree?
    On a lighter note I wish I could dance like Sridevi in Nagina! Anyone game to play the music??!! :p
    Ps: for an obviously fun take on the game, read psyxx’s review on this one! Only HE can do it! : )
    Pps: The title means nothing! It had been sometime since I had used a double entendre for my review! (which has a lot to do with the fact that I have not written anything in ages!) But then what the heck! What’s in a Title??!! Title ke andar kya hai would be a bad literal translation!
    Best of luck for play saanp seedi
