More About Candy Land:
In Candy Land, players try to be the first to reach the Candy Castle. No reading is required -- children can play as long as they recognize colors -- making it a good introductory game for very young children. Unfortunately, no decisions at all are made in the game; the luck of the card draw determines everything. This can make it a painful experience for parents who play with their children over and over again.
