Snakes and Ladders was originally created in India?

The statement is true. Snakes and Ladders was indeed originally created in ancient India. The game, known as Moksha Patam, was used as a tool to teach people about morality and the consequences of their actions. It was played on a cloth or a board with numbered squares, depicting various virtues and vices. Players would roll dice and move their tokens accordingly, climbing ladders representing virtues and being brought down by snakes representing vices. Over time, the game spread to other parts of the world and underwent modifications, eventually becoming the popular game known as Snakes and Ladders.
