Candy Land Review

One for the older Candy Land, a classic game. I played it when I was a kid, as I am sure most of you did also. Well we bought the game around Christmas time this past year, it was on sale for like $9 which is a really good deal cause I just looked it up at Walmart.com and it is $26.67. It still is pretty true to it's old style, set up, and rules. My two older kids Chloe (almost 9) and Patrick (6) get the rules and strategy of the game quite well. My twins who are almost 4, Abigale and Chandler, don't quite understand it yet. Chloe and Patrick play the game on a regular basis, and like most siblings someone is always "cheating" lol.  But when they are not busy arguing they have a GREAT time playing it. The only problem I have found is that the little game pawns, which are made of cardboard and slide into a little plastic stand, are not very durable they start to bend and then don't stand straight. So I used a little bit of electrical tape around the bottoms to support them. Other than that still a good classic game. Fun for children about kindergarten age and up. Easy set up. Easy rules to follow.
