Directions to Play Chutes & Ladders

Chutes and Ladders is a classic board game designed by the Hasbro corporation. This game was redesigned in 2004 to create new players and encourage adults to purchase the game they played as children so they can play it with their own children. This is a very family-friendly game and it is simple enough for children as young as years old 3 years old to play.
