Chutes and Ladders Board Game for 2 to 4 Players Kids Ages 3 and Up (Amazon Exclusive)

Fun

My 4 year old grandson loved the game. It was a hit.

great

My son just turned three and I have tried about three times to engage him in this game (aswell as one other one rated for the same age range). It is very difficult for him to understand, much less remain engaged in this game for any amount of time at all. I suggest you dont even try this with your kid until they are four, or else you will be protecting it and pulling it back out for a few seconds at a time over and over again in hopes of building the kid up to withstand sitting to play 1/4 of as long as is required for a round of this game. He just tries for a few minutes and then is onto a more immediately rewarding form of play.

As a child, I fondly remember playing Chutes and Ladders with my family. This updated version is not exactly the same, but the general premise remains. Each player is represented by a cardboard piece on the game board. The spaces on the game board are numbered from 1 to 100, and players take turns spinning the spinner and moving the number of squares indicated. When a player lands on a ladder square, they are able to climb ahead a number of squares to the top. Similarly, when a player lands on a chute, they must slide down to the bottom. The illustrations on the board are intended to indicate that good deeds are rewarded with ladder climbs, and no-nos are punished with a chute. In my family, we dont focus on this aspect as much. Children who dont yet have a handle on their counting will need extra guidance and may get frustrated or lose patience. The box indicates that the game is for children 3-6 years old, and the instructions indicate 4-7. Overall, this is a very simple game. Not wildly exciting, and Id say its best benefit is in helping children learn to count to 100.

Loved this game as a kid, and now my kid loves it too.

cant beat chutes and ladders! helping my daughter to count!

A classic from my childhood, and my 4-year old sons new favorite game. For the price it is nicely packaged and has a really colorful, sturdy-feeling board. Its the perfect game for a kid who wants something to do that can take longer than 5 minutes, but still cant do 15-20.

Classic game. 3 year old learned it in seconds.

Kiddos love this game. It is timeless and great for a quick brain break.
