They have RUINED it.
My husband and I remember Candy Land and were excited to play it with our 3-year-old. What a disappointment. They have ruined the game.
- There is no longer any white space on the playing board. The path used to be made of large squares that wandered through a white/pastel candyland. Now, every inch of the board is covered in super-saturated graphics that make it hard to see the path, for us adults. It's like Where's Waldo but instead you are trying to find the path.
- They have also made the squares smaller and put more of them on the board. Why, oh why, would they make this game LONGER? It's supposed to be a kid's first game. None of us could hang in there for the ETERNITY it took to get to the end.
I am hiding this and going to look at yard sales for an older version.
