The King of Candy Land has invited you to his castle. Join
his friends on a journey along the magical rainbow path...
Candy
Land
is a game for the very, very young. It's very simple, all
you have to do is draw
a card and move your token to the next gameboard space that
matches the colour on the card. Race towards the rainbow-coloured
finish and Candy Castle. The first player to reach the castle
wins. And that, in a nutshell, is it.
Unlike
other childhood favourites, like Snakes & Ladders,
there is no punishment or forfeit involved in this game. You
never move backwards, only forwards. No doubt this is a modern
American game that is designed to not stunt the emotional
growth of the very young by punishing them when they do wrong.
No, much better to reward the child at every turn.
That's
fine, but if you follow that argument then you are creating
a game where one child wins and others loose - so what is
that teaching our children? That they are worthless if they
don't win? Yes, a silly argument I know, but then I was hoping
there might have been a bit more of a challenge for young
players.
As
an introduction to boardgames this is enjoyable, but for an
children who a little older, you'd be advised to stick to
Snakes and Ladders - at least that is a little more
challenging.
