Title: Very good for a first Board Game
Review: 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.

Title: A classic!
Review: This little board game should be a part of every young child’s collection, because it is a classic! It is the perfect starter board game for little children, because it’s so easy to play, while practicing their counting and color skills. My grandkids love playing it with me, and their friends always want to play when they come over to visit. Everybody loves Candyland!

Title: Love the Game, Quality Downhill
Review: We had an older version of Candyland, but the cards were all bent up, so I ordered this one as a replacement. Right away I noticed the quality has gone downhill from my old version. The game board is barely thicker than posterboard so you'll need to be very careful with that. The cards are beyond thin - I had to laminate each one to give it longevity. The Candyland story insert was ripped upon receipt. Better quality materials need to be used since young kids are using this.Aside from quality problems, we love the classic game. My 4 and 10 year olds love the game, even though the 10 year old is way old for it, but we like to play as a family. It's the competitiveness for her that keeps her interested. Game play is simple, you choose cards and go the matching color, some spaces are double colors to move 2 instead of one. The best part is the specialty cards, in this version some of the characters are different such as the ice cream for Duke of Swirl and Grandma Gooey. What makes the game so fun is that you can be all the way at the end and get a specialty card like the cupcake that sends you back. My 4 year old is learning sight words, but can't read yet and no reading is required for this game. Each round can take 2-7 minutes depending on what cards you get, good for kids with short attention span. Classic family fun!
