Hasbro Gaming Candy Land Kingdom of Sweet Adventures Board Game for Kids, Gifts for Boys and Girls, Ages 3 & Up (Amazon Exclusive)

So happy to have Candy Land to introduce to the next generation. Full circle moment. Such a fun game! 4+ is probably best, but my son is very playful, sometimes it is hard to sit still. It is a great game for young ones! Color recognition is important. Brings back so many memories. I am happy to have it. Everything shipped and delivered beautifully.

I wasn't sure if my Granddaughter would actually enjoy or not, she just turned (4) a week ago & although she's not reading yet ... kids are pretty good at figuring out what we, as adults, cannot, without clear instructions. Anyway, I apologized as handing to her & explained it was a late birthday gift ... she took out of the box it was delivered in and I cannot describe the look on her face when she realized what it was. "CANDYLAND Mimi, CANDYLAND" she screeched and the smile on her face made my heart skip a beat. That little girl asked me to remove the cellophane while she plopped herself down on the floor ready to have at it, and she did. The board was opened, the cards stacked & the players were distributed to herself, Mimi & Grandpa. My Granddaughter then went about explaining the rules of the game, which to me was the very best part of the game. SHE LOVED IT & in turn we also fell in love with the game simply because it lit up her world & for that we will be forever grateful. Two hours later, after winning the game lol, she called GAME OVER ... and she actually picked up every card, etc. and put the game in the closet. Please keep in mind, she has never initiated the pick-up of any game, normally she's on to the next & that's that. Not this time, so again .... THANK YOU to all who had a hand creating this board game, I have no doubt this game will be around for a very long time. One last thing ... Parents, Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles, etc. - need a gift for a precious toddler in your life & unsure of what they might enjoy ...... CANDYLAND might be what you're looking for. Sure, it's been around forever but it's not that faded gameboard box you might still have somewhere ... not at all. CANDYLAND is colorful, sturdy enough to last, easy to understand yet it gives the toddler the ability to think about what they're doing ... I obviously can't say enough & it's probably time to stop lol. Anyway, if you're in need of a boardgame or a gift for that special little person in your life ... why not give CANDYLAND a try?

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.

Excellent game for my nephew- highly recommend

Just on time great price my children love it

Just like the classic but with some updated imagery! It's easy for kids and adults to play together and each game doesn't take too long so the kids love to play multiple rounds without getting board.

Great game and my grandchildren enjoy playing the game. I use to play this game with my children way back when!

My granddaughter loves it.

Good game; come packed well, exactly as described.

Very big fan of candy land. It’s a very simple game especially for parents with younger kiddos it’s easy to explain to them and it’s a game that they can understand quickly as well. Very good family game night option that you can include younger children for.

Se lo cogí a mis magicos juguetes. Me ha llegado en cuatro días, muy bien, plazo inferior al que me ponía en amazon.es Ha venido nuevo completamente, y precintado, y lo mejor de todo, en castellano, no en inglés, así que chapó. El juego está muy bien como primer juego, es para preescolares, pone que es a partir de 3 años. Es la edición de Candyland del 2010. Se llama: el reino de las dulces aventuras. Consta de tablero, con los nombres en castellano, cuatro peones con forma de galleta de jengibre, 64 cartas, instrucciones en castellano. No hay que tirar dados, simplemente coges una carta del montón y la usas. Hay cartas con un bloque de color, otras con dos bloques de color, y cartas con dibujo. Cuando usas de un color avanzas hasta la casilla de el color de la carta. Cuando usas una de dos colores, avanzas hasta la segunda casilla del mismo color. Si por ejemplo, coges una carta con piruleta, avanzas el peón hasta la casilla con piruleta. Hay atajos y casillas que te hacen perder el turno, o retroceder. Yo me interesé por este juego, porque lo vi en la película de Toy Story. Siempre he encontrado ediciones en inglés, vendidas o en UK, o en USA. Por suerte, con amazon, puedes acceder a objetos de todo el mundo, así que estaba muy contenta de encontrarlo. Lo compré a mis mágicos juguetes, que envía desde España, y no puedo estar más contenta, de ver que tengo una edición en castellano. Es un juego muy colorido, y pueden jugar tanto niños como niñas. Partidas cortas. Las fotos se corresponden con el juego, solo que, ya digo, el que tengo viene en castellano, no sé si los demás también estarán en nuestro idioma. Va a ser un regalo maravilloso para Navidad, para disfrutar en familia. Pueden jugar hasta cuatro jugadores. Precio: un poquito más de 27 euros, quizá un poco alto, pero más barato que lo que he visto por eBay por ejemplo. Insisto en que sólo lo he podido encontrar o aquí o en eBay, y en la otra web con gastos de envío era bastante más caro. Un saludo.

I used to play as a child with my siblings. Very enjoyable game

Kids love it
