    Power-ups

    • ShieldWhen you land on a snake, block it and stay put.
    • SwordWhen you land on a snake, chop it. That snake is gone for everyone.
    • GunBefore you roll, shoot any snake on the board. Or use it on a snake you land on.
    • MaceWhen you land on a snake, bonk it! You stay put, and the dizzy snake moves to a random new spot on the board.
    • MineBefore you roll, hide it on any empty square. Whoever steps on it next, even you, gets blasted to a random square. It could be way ahead or way back.
    • HelicopterEvery so often it lands on a random square and waits there for 6 turns. End your move on its square or right next to it, and it flies you 2 rows up.

      Number of players

      • You need the exact roll to land on 100.
      • Rolling a 6 earns another turn.
      • You can hold one of each power-up. When you land on a snake, you choose which one to use (chop, shoot, bonk or block), or save them and slide down.
      • A mine goes off when anyone steps on it, even while passing over it.
