HOW TO PLAY
Chutes & Ladders is a simple game that allows young children to play because no reading is required to participate. Chutes and Ladders has pictures that help the child understand the good and naughty. The ladders represent the rewards for doing good deeds while the chutes or slides represent the consequences of bad deeds. This board game is also designed to help young children learn basic counting skills.

Players of Chutes and Ladders spin the spinner to determine how many squares to go - if their final spot rests at the bottom of a ladder they get to go up and if it rests at the top of a chute they must go down. Players want to land at the base of a ladder so they can race ahead of the other players. Chutes and Ladders is a fun game for the younger crowd.

If I am up to a higher number, and far in the game- if I spin a lower number, do I have to move back to that number or stay where I am and it is the next person's turn? (no chutes or ladders involved)

You must last on square 100 by an exact count. Or land on 80 and take the ladder to 100. In all three Hasbro Instruction, in the three links below, this is stated in the section "Winning the Game".

My best friend Vanessa and I are dooing a reading project and it's based off of Chutes and Ladders. We had to pick a God from our ethnic group, which is Italian, and we picked Neptune. Our game is called Neptune's Adventure to Atlantis. The chutes are currents and the ladders are seaweed. It's really creative. DON'T STEAL THE IDEA. cause I copyrighted it. Yeah, that's right.
