Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is not the game you remember from your childhood. This newer version of Chutes and Ladders has a board about 3/4th of the size of the the one I had 30 years ago. The board is tiny and the squares are so small that each piece can barely fit. Because of the size, the board is way too busy- chutes and ladders run all over the board and cover the squares. Chutes and Ladders is supposed to tell the story of choices and consequences. The illustrations in this version are so bad, and everything is so crammed, that all meaning of the game is lost. I don't even bother to point out anything to my son, I just help him keep his place. Lastly, the spinner is horrible. You'd think a spinner would be a pretty simple design for Milton Bradley, but the arrow on the spinner covers the number. So you spin and then have no idea what number you have. I don't know how that got passed the designers, but it's pretty obvious they were counting on nostagia to sell this game. Don't waste your money.
