Product Description
This delightful game is simple and easy to play, even for children who can't read. Fun pictures help kids understand the rewards of doing good deeds as they climb up the ladders-and the consequences of naughty ones as they slide down the chutes. For 2 to 4 players. Game includes: game board, spinner with plastic arrow and 4 pawns with plastic stands.

Be the first to move your child-shaped playing piece from square one to square 100 on the Chutes and Ladders game board--but watch out! If you land on the square that shows you ate too much candy--Ouch!--you get a tummy ache and slide down a chute to a square a few numbers below. But if you end your turn on a good-deed square, such as helping sweep up a mess, you'll be rewarded by a ladder-climb up the board.

A fantastic follow-up to Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders is ideal for younger children who are still learning to take turns and just beginning to recognize numbers (the spinner stays in the single digits). It's also a gentle introduction to the higher numbers as players climb to 100 at the top of the board. And, thanks to all those chutes and ladders, it's got enough excitement to keep your 7-year-old on the edge of her seat. English and Spanish instructions are included; no reading is necessary to play. Chutes and Ladders is for two to four players. --Julie Ubben

3 out of 5 stars At $5.00 it's OKAY, a little flimsy, confusing game board   November 14, 2008
Delaney (WI)
Its chutes and ladders, it should be simple fun. You spin the spinner move your spaces, hit a ladder, go up, hit a chute, come down. There are a lot of fun pictures on the game board, however, it makes it hard to see the numbers, or the directional arrows.

As this game is supposed to be for the super young this becomes a big frustration. The standee pieces are cardboard which is fine but after playing a few games the bottoms or our characters are fraying.

They made it cheap to be affordable, so you get what you pay for here.



3 out of 5 stars Not a bad game, but the kids didn't really like it very much   August 11, 2008
Bread Makin' Mama
Shipping was fine, game was in fine condition. The kids had more fun assembling the spinner and game pieces than actually playing it. Maybe they'll enjoy it when they're older, my oldest is 4.


4 out of 5 stars Kids Love It   June 24, 2008
Bernard Chapin (CHICAGO! USA)
Well, Chutes and Ladders wasn't my favorite game as a child but I certainly enjoyed playing it. I have the "Dora Edition." She's a character I never heard of before purchasing it, but every kid I showed it to knew Dora the Explorer. Yes, I agree with another reviewer, the pieces are not very durable. Neither is the board for that matter but you get what you pay for and this happens to be one of the cheapest games around. Every child I played it with liked it which is an important indicator of its worth.


4 out of 5 stars Nice game for preschoolers   April 25, 2008
jenden7 (Pasadena, CA)
A good classic for learning up, down, counting, and board game etiquette. There are also several pictures demonstrating good vs. bad behaviors, not all of which are simple enough to explain to a 3 year old. The pieces of the game are of sturdy cardboard but not indestructable to a toddler. The graphics are very colorful but very busy, and personally, I do not like children's heads in the shape of footballs. Don't forget to hold down the spinner or it will whip out of place and knock all the pieces down. Lastly if you're an adult playing with your child, be prepared to play for a marathon 15 minutes (unlike most preschool toys that are finished in 5 minutes) because of those troublesome chutes.


4 out of 5 stars Not as durable as the older version   March 13, 2008

This game is a classic that I played when I was little. Our original game held up for years. I don't see today's version holding up for too long. It's the same thing of they don't make them like they used to.
However, it's still a great game and my boys both enjoy playing. I do too.
