Modern snakes and ladders is also an ancient indian board game that traveled to UK from india. I had samskrit references, but unable to locate then now. Will strive.
"Known as Moksha Patam, the game was popular in ancient India and emphasized the role of fate or karma. A Jain version, Gyanbazi or Gyan chauper, dates to the 16th century. The game was called Leela and reflected the Hinduism consciousness surrounding everyday life. The underlying ideals of the game inspired a version introduced in Victorian England in 1892."
