Nowhere near as good as original. The art on the board is highly distracting, the spaces where the chutes/ladders start and end are overlapping making it tricky to tell what space you are in.  Besides the poor graphic design, the message each "ladder/chute" tells a child is terrible!!  If you are carrying dishes (to a child is a helpful idea) ends up in a broken mess at the bottom of the chute. If you are reading books at the top of the slide (also a great thing for a child) you are bored at the bottom of the chute. The scenarios go on like this.  My 3 1/2 yr old was perplexed by the scenarios and stopped playing after reaching space 21.  She normally LOVES games ( Busytown, Busy Airport, Mystery Garden, Dominoes, Sneaky Snaky Squirrel, Racoon Rumpus, Hoppy Floppy Bunny, Deep Dark Woods...)
