While its not much fun for anyone over the age of 5 a classic childhood game like this should have a higher rating. I give it five stars.

I know i berated checkers for being simple, but i just cant say anything bad about this game. I dont know, it just has a certain quality to it i just love. Takes me back to childhood i guess.

Loved this game as a kid. Takes a long time sometimes though, as that top row is loaded with slides.

If it's the same as Snakes & Ladders, great.........wonderful board game to use in Lunatic asylums, keeps their minds active.

Another kid's classic! Not as good as Candyland but great nonetheless.

It's more of a game for kids who've graduated CandyLand. But it's still not bad.

Not just fun for kids either. A simple and creative concept that doesn't drag on for too long.

I have nothing but the fondest memories of Chutes and Ladders. I remember getting this game as a gift from my parents when I was about five or six (after losing my first baby tooth). I highly recommend this game for youngsters five through nine years of age. It teaches the benefits of good behavior and the consequences of bad behavior, yet in such a way that it's still fun for small children. Any game that can be both entertaining and educational isn't half that bad. Parents, help get your little ones off to a good start on the road to growing up -- play Chutes and Ladders with them.

If you're about 8, this is fun. Otherwise I'd give it a miss.

Another game I think everyone had a child!! It was a great way to learn your numbers and as Chicago Girl said, life's lessons, it also showed that you should never give up!

About a 3.5. One of the first games that children usually play. there is not skill involved here just a roll of the dice decides the players fate.Not a fun game for the child who lands on the ladder when they are almost toward the finish line and have to slide all the way down. Easy to learn.

Great game. Why? Great pictures, easy rules. As a kid, I actually enjoyed sliding down the chutes...that always seemed more fun, even though it set you back....my spouse, not a native speaker of english, found the game great for its simplicity and fun. Plus, you don't have to worry about a bunch of rules....just spin and go. For the price, few games are better.

It was a great learning game when I was growing up and I believe it can stand the test of time.

A wonderful, gentle game for small ones who also learn to count in sequential order. I'm 31 years old and I'll play this game on-line with my wife. Perfect for the child in all of us, and a great stress-free game, too!

Chutes and Ladders was fun when I was 4 years old, and it's still fun to play today.

This was always my favorite game as a child. Now as an adult I bought this game for my nephw and always buy this game for "toys for tots" at Xmas time. I think SamIam is bitter. Does she like Candyland or does she have resentment for that game as well? :)

This is a good game for kids because in a way it helps build their preliminary math skills. It is also good because it teaches kids a lesson that they are able to use in life, which is sometimes you get a break(a ladder) and are able to move up in "the game", and sometimes you hit a rough part(the chute) and have to start all over again, but either way you finish.

I used to play this game with my Mom for hours at a time, hoping just once that I would land on that big ladder which led all the way to the top. I love all the different cartoons in all the boxes showing cause and effect. I can still remember box 100, the last box, with the big blue first prize ribbon.

The luck involved was not really luck...it was demons possessing the dice!

In Norway we call it 'The Ladder Game'. To be so simple & to let the players use so little strategy, it's the perfect game! But I still prefer more advanced strategy games...

Yea whatever, I have an awful lot of resentment for this game.. I am not quite sure why. Maybe because i NEVER won..and I ALWAYS..EVERY SINGLE TIME landed on that one stupid space that led to the huge slide from the top of the board to the bottom. I am not even sure I ever actually finished a game..I think I kept going around in a circle. Screw chutes and ladders..My husband will have to play it with our kids.
