Just imagine the thrill your loved one will experience as they play Candy Land with Winnie the Pooh, Dora the Explorer, even SpongeBob SquarePants can be found in his Special Edition of Candy Land. So, sometimes it’s a excellent thing to visit Lollipop Woods and sometimes it’s not!Ĭandy Land, like so many of the classics, has had several “Special Editions” made over the years. If a player draws one of these cards, they are went immediately to the square on the board where that particular place is located, no matter if it’s forwards or backwards. To add more excitement 6 cards had drawings of places on the board, like the Gum Drop Mountains or the Candy Cane Forest.

In the older versions of the game, this was a colored square space with a black dot, The player unlucky enough to land on this space couldn’t go until he or she drew a card that contained the same color as the space with the black dot. Players can also land on a licorice space that causes them to lose one turn. The player then moves to the closest square on the board that matches that color. Players go by drawing a card with a colored square printed on it. As everyone knows, the object of the game is to be the first one to land exactly on the last square on the board. In fact it was the very first board game made for those who still hadn’t learned to read. Well, guess what? Candy Land is alive and well and is one of the most well loved toys this holiday season!Ĭandy Land has been around for over sixty years.

Candy Land is probably the first board game most of us ever played. Who among us doesn’t remember the excitement of getting sent forward to the Candy Cane Forest or the agony of getting stuck on a licorice spot for a few turns while our friends raced ahead.

When gathering with friends, from childhood, our fondest shared memory is one of playing Candy Land. Candy Land – An Old Favorite That’s Still Sweet
