Candy Land – Milton Bradley Board Games Reviews

Like many other people, I too played this game as a child and have great memories of teaching my younger brother and little cousins how to play. It incorporates learning the colors and taking turns. This newer version however incorporates more of a story with actual characters to it which was not in my version (I am a child of the 70’s) and I found that part to be unnecessary and a bit confusing. This tends to be a good game for 4-5 year olds and I would definately consider it to be a rite of passage that any child learn to appreciate this game.

I’m not sure how long “Candyland” has been on the market, but I played it when I was a kid and I’m pushing 44. My wife and I bought this game for our then-three-year-old son (he’s now four), unsure if it would hold his Nintendo-infatuated attention. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on who is playing with him), it does, so much so that his record at one sitting is 17 straight games. Still a classic of its kind, “Candyland” is easy to learn and fun for kids and adults (sheesh, I’m beginning to sound like a commercial here). One minor complaint: the cards aren’t very durable and perhaps need to be made of thicker material to facilitate multiple shuffling and to endure the often rough touch of little hands.
