Candy Land Castle Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a good beginner board game so we could start family game night with our 3 year old and this game is great. It is very simple and does not take too long to play a round: pull the lever and one piece shoots out of the castle (fun) and if it matches your game board you keep it and if not you put it back in the castle top. Great first game, box says 3+ but 2 year olds could easily play this game with supervision. I think it is a bit overpriced, but there is not really a great selection of easy beginner games available. (We have the Lucky Ducks game - fun but noisy! And we have Hi Ho Cherry-O - fun but 40 tiny plastic cherries!)

Candy Land Book Series Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Granted, I didn't play many board games growing up. In fact, I can count them all on one hand. But Candy Land was one of them, and easily my favorite when I was younger. My daughter got this version of Candy Land as a gift, and we finally had a chance to play it. The game's still fun, and I'm surprised at how much fun she was getting out of it- we played 8 games over the course of an hour!
If you've never played Candy Land, it's very simple. Up to 4 players play on the board, which is drawn out like a map for Candy Land. Your goal is to make it to the king's candy castle by drawing cards. Each card will have one color, two colors, or a character on it. If you draw a color, you move your character to the closest square of that same color. If it's a two color card, you move two spaces. If it's a character, you move forward or back to that location. You can also lose a turn by landing on one of the few spaces made for that. See? Very simple!
The map's changed a bit from when I was younger, and has different character/monster designs on it, but it's still cute. The player pieces are little gingerbread men in 4 colors (red, green, blue and yellow), and you get a good number of cards to play with. We usually only went through about half of the cards when playing, but you can always shuffle the used pile and start again if you run out. The main feature of this edition here is that it comes in a 'book'. The map, gingerbread pieces and cards are stored in a plastic tray within the book, which is a hard plastic case. The image on the front slides off, revealing the game, and you unfold the map. It's a really cool way to store the game, and more practical than the huge boxes a lot of board games come in. My only minor complaint is that the map -needs- to be on a flat surface since it's folded into 6 sections, but not entirely connected. If you lay it on a bed or couch, the board will probably be lopsided on one of the folds. But hey, the instructions do say to lay it on a flat surface, but sometimes you have to improvise.
All in all, Candy Land should be fun for younger kids, and is something good for parents to play with them. You can always change things up a bit and use your favorite smaller toys as game pieces if your kids ever get sick of the gingerbread men. Pokemon and Ghostbusters in Candy Land makes for some zany fun.

Candy Land - Dora The Explorer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is very much like the original Candy Land game, only with durable plastic Dora characters as the pieces. The colors are the same as the original (unlike the Pooh game). The board is decorated very well with Dora characters and does not seem cluttered. I'm very glad our local Wal-Mart was out of the original Candy Land game and only had this one.
