Editorial Review
The classic Chutes and Ladders game has a new twist! Dora, beloved explorer extraordinaire, competes with amigos Diego, Boots, and Backpack & Map to be the first to reach the fiesta. It’s the same basic board game as the original: players spin a spinner, then move their pawns the number of spaces indicated. If they reach the base of a ladder, up they go. If they reach the top of a chute, see ya later! Down they slide. Illustrations on the Dora version show the Nick Jr. characters engaging in naughty or nice behavior, depending on whether they’re at a chute or ladder, and the resulting consequences or rewards: Swiper the fox tries to sneak away with a cookie jar…and ends up at the bottom of the chute with a pile of shards and broken cookies. But really, the game is as simple as it seems, no skill involved (except counting). Just spin the dial, and hope to land on a ladder! Game includes 100-squared board, spinner, four sturdy plastic Dora the Explorer character pawns (a definite improvement over the flimsy cardboard ones), and instructions in English and Spanish. --Emilie Coulter

Taliyah love Dora & Chutes & Ladders
I gave this game to my 7 yr old granddaughter and it came brand new. She loves Dora and board games. Since Chutes & Ladders was one of my favorites as a child I figured lets go with a old favorite with the new twist. She couldn't wait to get home and play. It was great being able to share one of my favorite toys with my granddaughter and watching her light up at it with one of her favorite cartoon characters.

Classic game made better
This game plays just like the original, with all of the chutes and ladders in the same places on the board. The original graphics on the board are replaced with characters from the TV show, which my 4-yr-old daughter loves.
The game pieces are plastic figures of Dora and three of her friends (Boots the monkey, Backpack, and one other whose name escapes me.) They feel very durable and have taken a beating without showing any signs of wear.
The only weak point might be the spinner, although we haven't had any problems so far and it seems much sturdier than what I remember from the original.
This was my daughter's favorite Christmas present, and she plays it daily (several times, if she can convince someone to play it with her that long.) It's a great game.

granddaughter just loves this!!!!
Purchased this for my 4 yr old granddaughter who is into Dora like there's no tomorrow. She hadn't had the game open 1 minute before we were playing (according to her rules of course). Definitely a great purchase.
