Snakes and Ladders

Sanity is threatened by this game banaL
Not for the faint of heart - it has its own agendA
An endless nightmare can be yours once you are snareD
Knowledge is useless when your luck has dieD
Everlasting.  Trenchant;  It will drain away your last drop of hopE
Survived since ancient times in India - hardly right or faiR
Squares, endless squares, lead slowly, but surely to madnesS
