Editorial Review
"Once upon a time, King Kandy, the Imperial Head Bonbon and Grand Jujube of Candy Land disappeared." Thus begins the magical journey of Milton Bradley's classic Candy Land board game. Captivated by the story of a kidnapped king and eager to help find him, little ones move their gingerbread pawns along a rainbow path and through a land of candy characters, all subjects of King Kandy's realm. Playing cards thoughtfully designed for non-readers are coded with colorful squares matching the jeweled stepping-stone path or an occasional token matching one of the characters' symbols: draw a blue card, move to the nearest blue stepping-stone; draw a snowflake and earn a visit to Queen Frostine's iceberg. There are occasional pitfalls, too: land on the wrong square and you might be stuck in Molasses Swamp until a red card is drawn. With all these enticing, sugarcoated images (and King Kandy plainly visible at path's end), children can't help but be delighted by Candy Land. It's delicious! Instructions are in both Spanish and English. Candy Land is for two to four players) --Julie Ubben

 Candyland is a classic May 18, 2010

As avid boardgamer parents, my daughter was turning 3 and I wanted to get some games to start playing with her. Candyland is a classic for a reason. There are a few things I have found that are a little difficult for her. She had trouble with the special cards that move you forward or backward to the special character squares, so I just pulled them out of the deck for now. She has trouble figuring out which way is forward because the path squiggles around the board so much. Overall my daughter really enjoys this game and it's a tolerable game for parents. It's great for learning to take turns.

I had looked around at various other sites and it seemed that this was a made in the US product (like the older game is), but it is made in China. Just in case you are interested in info like that. We made every effort to only get non-Chinese products this last Christmas and this one slipped in despite my efforts.
Yes, the 1984 version is better in my opinion, but this game is not for me, it's for my kids. And hopefully they'll have fond memories of the new artwork just like we have fond memories of the artwork from our game.
Otherwise, kids will learn the same things, colors, following directions, following a path that changes direction, matching, etc.
Still a great game!

CANDY! December 11, 2009

Yes, CANDYland. CANDY! How did this game survive the anti-sugar movement? Sugar Pops are now labeled "Corn Pops" and my beloved Sugar Smacks are now just "Smacks". Yet Hasbro has taken a stand against the spin doctors and refused to alter their game. They know that kids and candy are a force in the universe that cannot be changed. They seek each other out like soul-mates.
My niece was raised totally sugar-free. She was given no candy, not even allowed to look at candy, and started the alphabet song " B E F G...". However as soon as she could put sentences together she began loudly proclaiming "I WANT CANDY". "Santa, bring me CANDY". "Is that CANDY you hide up there?". She was obsessed with it...it was the eternal flame she sought over all other objects on earth.
When my daughter brought her newborn over to visit, I noticed my niece down on the floor next to his baby carrier, whispering in his ear. I asked her what they were talking about, and she answered "He wants some candy". I rest my case. Even a two-week-old with zero language skills can find a way to express his inborn addiction to all things sugary sweet. Or maybe my niece thought this tiny creature everyone was cooing over had a better chance of scoring some candy than she did.
So whether it's because Hasbro took a moral stand or just couldn't figure out how to change the title AND packaging without losing their market, I say BRAVO. Bring on the sugar. And by the way, am I the only one who is confused about Splenda? "It's not sugar but it's made from sugar". What the heck does THAT mean? Were they down in the lab watching Frankenstein while experimenting? "Hey, he's not human but he's made from humans. Hmmm....".
Love this game! December 4, 2009

I had a Candyland board game as a child and I remember loving the game. I haven't played it recently, but I sure can tell you that I played with my younger brother, parents and grandparents EVERY DAY and it never got old.
