Cute game for kids and family!
My son and our family just love this board game!I was looking for some indoor board game for my son as he is missing his school and getting bored at home in this COVID season!But now we have added this game in our daily activity routine and this is also helping him in learning numbers,the feelings of losing and winning by this game. I personally love the slides in this game instead of snakes which I use to play in my childhood days! Highly recommended for all age groups!!

terrible board layout
the board is small, spaces are small with only the slightest variation in color PLUS the number placements on the spaces are inconsistent-making this a very difficult game especially with small children. Please save yourself the headache!

    Great for family fun!
    I love playing this game with my granddaughter. We had fun for about an hour with this. Can't wait to have her back over.

    Haven't played this game with my granddaughters yet but I'm excited. I remember really enjoying it as a child.

    Buy the Classic Hasbro Version Instead
    Really disappointed in this version of a beloved childhood board game. We were looking forward to playing this game with our 3 year old grandson but unfortunately, the board is so badly designed it was frustrating for all of us to play. The coloring on the board has no real definition with the coloring on the squares. They are all a slightly different shade of green that are so close in color with no lines in between for you to tell where one square ends and another begins. Save yourself and your little ones the frustration. Better to spend a bit more money and go for the traditional Hasbro version. It's a classic.

    Original is better
    The game board squares are 2 shades of very close greens. Toddler had issues telling them apart. Contrast should be more striking so that their eyes can see the difference.

    Fun, classic family game!
    This game is perfect for families and young kids. It's easy to play and a lot of fun. The slides and ladders make the game exciting, but I wish the numbers on the board were displayed a bit better. It can be a bit confusing for kids to k one which direction to go. The board also isn't the most durable. Our first one split in half not long after buying it, but it's not a big deal since the game is so affordable!

    Not the original
    If you played as a kid and want to share those memories with your child or grandchild, do not buy. This is not the original board. Very disappointed. Price was right but would prefer to spend a little more for the classic!

    Great game for little ones. My toddler (almost 4) learns how to take turns, count numbers and he of course loves the spinner and all of the little characters. I would recommend this for a first board game for toddlers. Even my husband and I enjoy playing it!

    Only 3 player pieces
    We love this game! I will start with the only problem...there are 3 player pieces not 4! Other than that the game is great! All the pieces are sturdy and colorful. The arrows are are easy to follow on the board. The box is a small rectangle instead of a long rectangle so easy to store.

    Dissapointed
    Was dissapointed. The spaces are very hard (especially for younger kids) to tell apart. Just slight variance in a shade of green between each space. It was hard to tell what was what

    Easy to learn classic game of Chutes and Ladders
    This is a Classic game I played as a kid,and still is fun. New board is to small and hard to put the people on the squares but still fun to go up the ladders and down the slides trying to get to the end and win. You will go back sometimes but its about having fun and teaching kids how to play a game. Comes with a spinner and 3 people.

    Do not buy
    Wow I am so surprised this game got alnost 5 stars in reviews. Apparrntly those who gave it 5 stars never had an original game. 1) Squares are TOO small for the movers and two tokens simply cannot occupy one square. Even one token is too big for one square. 2) Numbers are TOO small for a child's eye and even for a grown ups eye. 3) Arrows pointing the direction are hard to see In a nutshell, it is too hard to differentiate one square from another, one number from another. I do not know why Hasbro chose to downsize this classic game THAT BAD, but they obviously went too far on this one. I do love the colors and graphics on the classic vintage version of it. I am returning this game because it is completely impossible for a child to spot anything on it.

    wish I'd bought snakes and ladders
    Chutes/Snakes and Ladders is a classic game for teaching young kids numbers up to 100, and basic game-play (taking turns, dealing with bad luck, etc. etc.). Snakes and ladders wasn't in stock so I bought this game instead. Can't go wrong with it... right? Well the board is so cluttered with cartoons it's hard to see the squares. Worse, the squares are just different shades of green, with no black borders so they would be a little hard to see even without cartoons. I drew back lines on it myself with a thin permanent marker and it is way better now. For young kids playing their first board game, its very confusing. Once our Xmas bills are paid, I will still be buying Snakes and Ladders to replace this. Also good to know is that it comes with spinner instead of a dice. The spinner works better for little hands, but kids do need to learn dice eventually.
