Candy Land 2005 Edition

Players use the plastic gingerbread man as playing pieces as they advance along the rainbow path through the peppermint stick forest, the gingerbread plum tree, and the gumdrop mountain. There are colorful pieces in four colors and cards. A child can begin by just recognizing basic colors, and then start playing with one color block, two color blocks and picture cards.

Inside the box is “The Legend of the Lost Candy Castle” which can be read out loud. The game board, which can be easily stored under the inside game parts, is colorful and has lots of yummy candy references. The players move the gingerbread playing pieces on the gameboard spaces that match the colors and pictures of the drawn cards. The objective is to reach the candy castle before the other players.

If a player is the first person to reach the last purple space, or move beyond the last purple space, they have won the game. However, there are barriers along the way, such as the gooey gumdrops, getting lost in the lollipop woods, or getting stuck in the molasses swamp. It takes strategic thinking and a bit of luck to navigate through these obstacles and be the first to reach the candy castle.
