Candy Land , a timeless classic from Hasbro celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2009. A childhood favorite for many of us was winning a fun game of Candy Land. The game is still thriving and is again one of the most popular Christmas Toys for 2009.
Young and old alike can enjoy the game, with no skill-based advantage going to any specific player. Instead, players take a color-coded card to determine which spot on the board they will move to. Some cards have pictures on them, meaning the player must move to the corresponding place on the Candy Land game board.
One reason very young children enjoy the game is that no reading is required to play. Matching colors and images is the only skill they need to develop. Another thing that makes it fun for kids is that they have just as much chance of winning as everybody else that's playing. No more constant losing to older siblings or Mom and Dad!
While many adults may have grown up with only one version of Candy Land, that's no longer the case. Apart from the classic game, you can also get the Candy Land Castle Game , Candyland Sweet Celebration Game , and the travel friendly Candy Land Fun On the Run Game .
Fans of Nickelodeon and Disney will be thrilled with the the Dora The Explorer version of Candy Land , and Winnie The Pooh Candyland editions.
In our fast-paced and always changing world, it's reassuring that there are games like Candy Land that withstand the test of time. The cover of the box says it's a "sweet little game for sweet little folks", that could be extended to include those of us who are still young at heart. That's one reason why Candy Land makes such a smile-inducing gift.
