How to play
- Each turn you're shown an English word with four Spanish options — pick the correct translation to earn your roll.
- Answer correctly and the die rolls, moving your piece forward that many squares; a wrong answer costs you the turn.
- Land at the foot of a ladder (🪜) to climb up the board, or on a snake's head (🐍) to slide back down.
- Keep answering and rolling until your piece reaches the final square — accuracy and a bit of luck get you there fastest.
