Design
Snake and Ladder Game
Design a Snake and Ladder board game that supports multiple players, custom board configurations, and game state management.
01 - Why interviewers ask this
It's a compact way to test whether you can model board state, turn order, and randomness (dice) as clean objects instead of one big procedural loop.
02 - Where this system exists in the real world
You interact with this design every day.
Digital board game implementations (mobile/web)
Turn-based game engines with simple movement rules
Educational simulations of probability and randomness
03 - What you'll master
Solve this once. Know it forever.
Model a board as a graph of jumps (snakes/ladders)
Manage turn order across N players
Keep game rules decoupled from board representation
04 - What you'll design
