Brief Game History:
The concept of Chutes and Ladders is even more ancient than its 70-year history would suggest. Chutes and Ladders is based a game called Snakes and Ladders, which originated in India around the 2nd century B.C.
The original game was designed to help children learn to count and recognise numbers. It was also used to impart lessons in morality. Snakes were allegories for various vices, and landing on a snake's head would cause a player to slide down the board from the top to the bottom of a snake. Conversely, ladders represented virtuous activities and players who landed at the base of a ladder quickened their ascension by climbing the ladder to bypass a number of squares.
Milton Bradley's redesign retains the same basic premise of its historical counterpart but utilises a more kid-friendly theme of playground equipment. Scary snakes have been replaced with chutes that perform the same sliding function during gameplay. Chutes and Ladders also takes a less heavy-handed moralistic tone, with an emphasis on good deeds (i.e. mowing the lawn) and bad deeds (i.e. eating too many cookies.)
