thumb|left|upright=1.3|Snakes and Ladders from Victorian England, c. 1900, with ladders appearing in squares of good deeds, such as Thrift, Penitence and Industry, and snakes appearing in squares of bad deeds, such as Dishonesty, Cruelty and Indolence When the game was brought to England, the Indian virtues and vices were replaced by English ones in hopes of better reflecting Victorian doctrines of morality. Squares of Fulfilment, Grace and Success were accessible by ladders of Thrift, Penitence and Industry and snakes of Indulgence, Disobedience and Indolence caused one to end up in Illness, Disgrace and Poverty. While the Indian version of the game had snakes outnumbering ladders, the English counterpart was more forgiving as it contained equal numbers of each.Masters, James.
