Cobolt Speechmaster Braille Snakes and Ladders

Contents
1 square game board, 1 Braille die, 1 die shaker, 
instructions.

This is a game for two players.

Object of the Game
The object of the game is to be the first player to reach the end by moving across the board from square 1, bottom left hand square, to the final square, 100, top left square.

The board wraps back and forth, so you move left to right across the first row, then move up to the second row and move right to left, and so on.  The numbering on the squares is in Braille as well as print.

How to play:
Each player starts with their peg in the number 1 square on the bottom left corner of the board.

To decide who goes first, each player should roll one die to see who gets the highest number. 
Whoever rolls the highest number gets to take the first turn. If the same number is rolled, and it is the highest number rolled, each of those people roll the die an additional time to see who gets to go first.
Players take turns in rolling the die, moving their counter across and up the board.

Follow the numbers on the board to see how to move forward. For example, if you rolled a 5, and 
you were on space number 11, then you would move your game piece to space number 16.
 
What to do if you land on a Snake and Ladder
The ladders on the game board allow you to move upwards and get ahead faster. If you land exactly on a square that has an image of the bottom of a ladder, then you may move your game piece all the way up to the square at the top of the ladder.
 
If you land at the top of a ladder or somewhere in the middle of a ladder, just stay put. You never move down ladders.

Slide down snakes.  Snakes move you back on the board because you have to slide down them. If you land exactly at the top of a snake, slide your game piece all the way to the square at the bottom of the snake. 

If you land on a square that is in the middle or at the bottom of a snake, just stay put. You only slide down if you land on the top square of a snake.

If you roll a six, then you get an extra turn. First, move your piece forward six squares and then roll the die again. If you land on any snakes or ladders, follow the instructions above to move up or down and then roll again to take your extra turn. As long as you keep rolling sixes, you can keep moving!

How to Win
The first person to reach the highest square on the board square 100, wins. But there's a twist! If you roll too high, your piece "bounces" off the last square and moves back. You can only win by rolling the exact number needed to land on the last square.

For example, if you are on square 99 and roll a four, move your game piece to 100 (one move), then "bounce" back to 99, 98, 97 (two, three, then four moves.) If square 97 is a ladder base or snake head, climb or slide as usual.
