This is a great classic game!  Loads of fun to play with my three grandchildren aged three through seven.  This game involves a little skill and a lot of luck so it evens the playing field over the ages.  The game is simple, so the seven year old can explain it perfectly, yet it also can teach the three year old about numbers!  It's hard to find a board game that appeals to the "gamer" boys, but this one held their attention well.  It's also hard to find a game that all three grandchildren can play with me, but again this "Chutes and Ladders" game fit the bill perfectly!
