Hasbro Playskool Step Start Walk ‘n Ride

One childhood memory we all share is playing the board game Candy Land. Who among us doesn't remember the excitement of getting moved forward to the Candy Cane Forest or the frustration of getting stuck on a licorice spot for a few turns while our friends raced ahead. Candy Land is probably the first board game most of us ever played. Well, guess what? Candy Land is alive and well and is one of the most popular toys this holiday season!

Candy Land has been around for over sixty years. It was the first board game developed especially for younger children who couldn't yet read. As everyone knows, the object of the game is to be the first one to land exactly on the last square on the board. Players move by drawing a card with a colored square printed on it. The player then moves to the nearest square on the board that contains that color. Players can also land on a licorice space that causes them to lose one turn. In the older versions of the game, this was a colored square space with a black dot, The player unfortunate enough to land on this space couldn't move until he or she drew a card that contained the same color as the space with the black dot. There are also six cards that contain pictures of places on the board, like the Gum Drop Mountains or the Candy Cane Forest. If a player draws one of these cards, they are moved immediately to the square on the board where that particular place is located, no matter if it's forwards or backwards. So, sometimes it's a good thing to visit Lollipop Woods and sometimes it's not!

Candy Land has been released in several special editions, as well. This means that you can now play the Winnie the Pooh version of Candy Land, the Dora the Explorer version of Candy Land or even the SpongeBob SquarePants version of Candy Land!

In a world that's moving faster and faster, it's nice to know that some things, like Candy Land, haven't changed. What it said on the box still holds true. Candy Land is still a sweet little game for sweet little folks.
