The way the last few squares as you approach Square 100 are handled varies in different versions of Snakes and Ladders. When you roll a 6, the game makes the additional roll for you automatically.

Your game piece will then move automatically. When it's your turn, click the number cube icon in the lower right of the board to roll the dice. Move your piece through the board using the roll of a single number cube (also called dice or a "die") to determine the number of squares to move. Movement in Snakes and Ladders is horizontally along the rows as described above. The second row goes from right to left, the third row left to right, and so on. When the right side of the board is reached at Square 10, the player moves straight up to Square 11, the start of the second row. The first row begins at Square 1 in the lower left and runs horizontally to the right. The board is numbered in horizontal switchback back-and-forth rows, also known an ox-plow or boustrophedon pattern. Thus, there are 100 squares on the board, each of which are numbered, from 1 to 100, starting in the lower left corner.
