"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 - Melissa Rensch - Lakeville, MN USA
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.

social chess for groups - Evan R. Koch - California
As fun as this game is there is a terrible imbalance in 3 player games. My friends and i corrected this by having the fourth army put in as a NEUTRAL army controlled by the other players. At the end of round one player one (the player who went first) moves for neutral, then in round 2 player 2 plays neutral etc, Neutral is "last" in play order so it should be positioned as such with play going to the left, it makes the game much less unfair for the player who gets stuck between the other 2 and players can use the neutral army to attack each other! I could not give the product five stars because THEY should have thought of this rule and included it in the rules and they did not.
