Who Doesn't Love Candy Land?
I bought this one because the youngest member of the family had nothing to do when at the house. The older kids were using up all the bandwidth and comfortable seating. The two of us broke out Candy Land and started playing. Next thing you know the older kids start reminiscing and want to play. Peace reigns throughout the Candy Land and I get my chair back!

Nicely made like the good old days
received this today and so happy with the quality. I bought this for our 6 yr old granddaughter and she will love it. I particularly loved the game board. It is like the original one in that it is a good solid board which folds in half for storage. I bought, in the store, at Christmas the chutes and ladders game for her and it is very cheaply made with a flimsy board and just not the same quality as this. Thanks!

3-5 year old fun
Took this on vacation for the boys, First time playing a board game. It took a little while for the 5 year old that it's not fair to dig down in the deck to find the needed car ): but over time he's really starting to get the life lesson that it's not fair to cheat (what if his friend did that to him?} and that it's not always about winning, but having fun

everything about the classic game Candyland
This is just like the original classic Candyland you might have played when you were a kid. For me it conjures memory of my family sitting around the dinner table playing a game before my brother was born and everybody got so busy and then before you know it we all grew up and I don't know whatever happened to that actual gameboard but I know that my family will never enjoy the unity that we once experienced ephemerally and sometimes while playing this exact game.

Very good for a first Board Game
I rate toys using a 3 category system. I look at their entertainment value, durability, and creativity. Every toy needs to keep a child's attention, be able to stand up to their rough playing, and either promote their creativity or be used to play in creative ways. I'll start with a short review and then explain my reasons for the rating in detail. We bought this for my 3-year-old daughter for Christmas, and it has been a big hit. Her and her 2-year-old brother beg to play it everyday when I get home from work. It is fun and colorful, and helps to teach them how to be patient and take turns as well as how to have fun, even if you don't finish first. ENTERTAINMENT: Candy land is simple enough for a 2-year old to figure out, and fun enough not to make the parents who have to play with them completely miserable. It brings back memories from my childhood, so I have a lot of fun playing as well. My daughter loves counting the colors, and she loves narrating her path and telling stories about how she met Queen Frostine on her way to King Candy's castle. My son loves drawing the cards and moving his piece along the path. DURABILTY: The board is very sturdy, but the cards get pretty messed up pretty quick. My son has already crumpled up the cupcake card, so we know when that one is coming in the stack. There is a version of this game that has a spinner instead of cards, which they got from my brother for Christmas (what a coincidence), but my kids enjoy picking a card more than using the spinner. CREATIVITY: My daughter gets pretty creative telling stories about the Candy Land characters, but the best part about this game is that it teaches kids how to be patient and wait for their turn in a creative way. My kids are pretty patient for being toddlers, but they are still toddlers. When they want something, they want it, and they usually aren't willing to wait for their turn. But within a few minutes of playing, they were remarkably good at taking turns. They cheered each other on, even if the other one just passed them up. They loved every minute of it. Outside of game play, I have noticed them taking turns with toys and not fighting as much. They still fight, just not as much. They share their toys a lot better. I didn't expect that to happen. I don't think people really think that a board game would be able to teach kids life lessons, but its surprising how they carry the little things into their everyday interactions. In conclusion, this is a great way to introduce children to board games and teach them patience and good sportsmanship. Its a must have for young children.

Similar to the game you remember
When looking to buy Candyland for my son I was sad to hear that the newer versions of the game have a spinner rather than cards and that the characters have changed and are overly sexualized. I ended up with this versions and am happy with it. It has cards and while some of the characters are different from what I remember, they are not dressed in lingerie with lollipops over their breasts. My 4 year old lives this game and it's a great introduction into board games. Taking turns, matching colors, following rules, and sometimes losing are all great skills he is acquiring by playing this game.

Great game for little ones
Candy Land is the perfect game for little ones who can't really use logic or strategy yet, but still want to be able to play a board game. They only need to know their colors and they're set to go. My grandchildren love playing Candy Land when they come visit. I just bought one to give as a Christmas gift for two younger grandchildren, so they can play it at home, too. It's definitely a hit in our family.

Perfect gift for kids and fun for the whole family
I ordered this for my 5 year old daughter and we had a blast. I enjoyed the optional game play they offer that each turn you pick 2 cards and choose which one you want to use. It not only helped the game go faster if we were in a bit of a rush, but it helped my daughter with developing logic and strategy skills. We played the regular way as well and it is always exciting when someone gets a character card and gets sent across the map. I highly recommend this game. The size was perfect and the colors bright and attractive.

So fun!
This game is so fun, no matter what age you are! This comes with instructions just in case you need to remind yourself of the rules or how to play, but it is very straight forward! I personally like to use one of the tops of the boxes and spread out the cards. Once you pick a card, we put it back in the box. This way, everyone could get the best (or the worst) of the cards and it makes it way more fun than just one person getting the "special" candy/dessert cards. LOVE this game and would highly recommend!
