Candy Land 1949

How to play Candy Land

Candy Land is a game that plays with 2–4 players, runs about 30 minutes and is aimed at ages 3 and up. It's a Children's Game and Racing game where the core of play revolves around Roll / Move. A no-reading, no-decision children's race game in which color cards move pawns along a candy-themed path. Designed by Eleanor Abbott while recovering from polio and published by Milton Bradley in 1949, it is an archetypal first board game for young children.
