The modified game was named Snakes and Ladders and stripped of its moral and religious aspects and the number of ladders and snakes were equalized.

There are always 14 cups and stones to play with. Players take turns picking up and distributing their stones between the cups. If the last counter lands in a cup with an empty cup after it, the player captures all of those counters.
