Toys and Games Reviews of Chutes and Ladders
Customer Review: Oops knocked over again!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is not the Chutes & Ladders I remember playing as a child in the 60's. The redesigned version is hard to follow for 3-4 year olds who don't recognize written numbers up to 100 and have a hard time following the arrows for which way to go. So do mom and dad! A path rather than a grid would be much easier. The main problem is the moving pieces...they keep on moving every time the board is slightly bumped - which happens all the time with children. In other words, they tip over WAY too often, thus losing your place on the board. The designers need to do some major changes. It still is a good game for teaching children that sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and for counting how many spaces to move.Customer Review: Nice game for preschoolers
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Customer Review: This toy is visually confusing and very annoying to play

I bought this for my son as a first game, and I've played it with him, as well as his younger sister, who is now 4 years old. I cringe every time they want to play this game. The board is so busy looking, and the slides cover squares that you need to count as you land on or pass by. It's confusing to kids about which way they're to go on the board (first they go left, then they go up, then they go right, etc.) I constantly have to help them count squares that are covered over by the slides, et al, tell them which direction to go, etc. This is not one of the best counting games out there. Try Hi Ho Cherry-O. MUCH better game!Customer Review: Classic, but poor construction
Summary: 3 Stars
This is close to the classic snakes & ladders we played as children, but it is not very durable. The playing pieces are little folded cardboard characters that fit into plastic stands. The spinner does not work well. We replaced ours with a die. (I keep extra dice on hand for games like that). My son (age 4) can count to 100, but sometimes he still gets confused as to which way to go and occasionally wants to "climb" a ladder when his spot crosses halfway instead of at the bottom.
Classic? Yes.
Durable? No.
Fun? Not very.
Candy land is much better and if you've got the cash, Balloon Lagoon is a blast.
Customer Review: a must for the youngster in your family

with its easy too follow instrutons and tiny parts you can eaily teach your children how to play many exciting self-mutilating games! I feel that some of the senarios are not very good for children to follow, i.e. the child is climbing the tall tree to rescue the small kitten without the use of a safety restraint incase the child may slip. Plus, now it is a popular drinking game found at many of the local colleges so you might want to order now while they are still in stock. Furthermore, the useage of eating too much and getting a stomach ache does not sit well with most of the obese society. END
