You know what? Forget that.Ĭandy Land is basically Warhammer 40,000. Snakes and Ladders, but without the snakes, the ladders, the dice, the numbers. So, for anyone who doesn't know (and really, is there anyone who doesn't know?), Candy Land is a game for toddlers. I've written before on my blog about judging games based on what they are, not on what they aren't, and never has that sentiment been more appropriate than when considering what Candy Land brings (or more accurately, doesn't bring) to the table. Well, I sure as heck am going to review it seriously (or at least as seriously as I review anything). I mean, it's just rubbish, isn't it? There's no way I'm going to review it seriously, is there? and really, I just realised what an oxymoron "serious gamer" is. It's a game held in utter contempt, looked down upon by every serious gamer. It's the label you put on any game that has dumbed-down design, old-fashioned "roll to move and miss a go" mechanisms, and limited (or no) in-game decisions other than whether to bother actually finishing. You're thinking, Candy Land isn't even a game. and I'm reviewing Candy Land. I figured an intro about gaining a small amount of weight was slightly more tasteful than an intro about diabetes.Īnd I know what else you're thinking (this is getting spooky). I just felt I needed to justify why I'm eating custard creams while I'm writing. The answer, of course, is nothing much, really. Now, I know what you're thinking: What has this got to do with reviewing board games?

Naturally, this situation leaves me in a quandary (in front of the laundry).ĭo I curb my enthusiasm for biscuits to get back to my original jeans size, or do I commit to the cause and fill out my new jeans size? I need to hoist my belt to within an inch of its life to prevent myself from dropping trou when I don't intend to (because, obviously, sometimes I intend to). The real problem is, jeans in the next size up are too big. I haven't stacked on massive amounts of weight though just enough to nudge the needle to the point where it's a little bit difficult to breathe when the button's done up. Ice Cream Sea – A bubbly ice cream sea where Queen Frostine resides.Recently, for the first time in my adult life, I discovered I couldn't fit into my regular jeans size. Peppermint Forest – A snowy thicket of peppermint candy canes. Peanut Brittle House – A cottage made of peanut brittle with peanut plants growing outside. Molasses/Chocolate Swamp – A swamp of molasses/chocolate with brown Popsicle plants. That player gets to go first and then play passes to the left. Have all of the players announce their birthdays to determine who is the youngest player. Who goes first in Candyland?Įach player should choose one of these gingerbread pawns and place it on the start square of the Candy Land board. When moving, always move in the direction of signposts. If a picture card is drawn, the player must move forward OR backward to the designated space. If two color blocks are drawn, then you move forward to the second matching color. The color blocks allow you to move forward to that corresponding color. No numbers required so even very young children can tackle ideas about sequences (one thing comes after another) and work on matching colors and pictures.
