Laurie
Our favorite way to play was to add candy to each of the main spots. When you land there you can take a piece or two of chocolate at Chocolate Mountain, a Licorice from Lord Licorice, a small pop at Lollypop Woods. No one wanted to end the game until the candy bags were empty! We also had a gingerbread castle built for the end of the game that could be eaten at the end. Of course we had gum drops and even the candies that looked like ice cream. YUMM! Thanks for the memories!

When I was little, my grandparents sponsored a Vietnamese family and helped them come to America. I played Candy Land with their little girl who was my age, because we didn’t need to speak the same language to be able to play–colors are recognizable in any language!

I remember that candyland was not a game for the over confident. Everytime I thought I was close to winning, I got sent back. I think it might teach you how to be a good sport.
Kimberly

Kristy Moon
It has been a long time sense I have played this game, but I remember the gum drops and gingerbread man, I also remember how I would imagine that candy would fall from the sky. I loved playing this game and have been wanting my kids to become old enough to play. My daughter is now 3 1/2 so I think we are almost there.
Leigh
I never owned the game but always wanted it.
Allyson
My sister and I always played this game together. I can’t remember how many times we made our babysitter’s play with us too!

The game of Candyland was a wonderful inspiration for our imagination. My sisters and I made up stories surrounding the characters. And we all wanted to be Queen Frostine!
Tammy Wiskerchen
THIS IS HONESTLY NOT MY CHILDHOOD MEMORY, BUT IT IS A WONDERFUL MEMORY OF ME PLAYING CANDY LAND WITH MY CHILDREN WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE. I REMEMBER PLAYING IT WITH MY SON & DAUGHTER WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER. I AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS JUST A GIRL THING, BUT IF MY DAUGHTER DID NOT WIN THE GAME, SHE WOULD JUST STOP PLAYING OR ACCUSE US OF CHEATING. SHE ALWAYS HAD TO BE THE WINNER OF THIS GAME. AND THIS MEMORY DID NOT HAPPEN WITH OTHER GAMES THAT WE PLAYED…..JUST CANDY LAND. ;-}
Milian O
I used to get so frustrated when I slid down the slides and so happy when I was able to skip up the ladder.
Cyan
Oh, I loved playing Candyland when I was a little girl. I bought Chutes and Ladders for my son, but I know he would love Candyland as well. I always wished I could visit that place for real…LOL.

My sister and I loved playing this game! But the cardboard “candymen” got a little beat up over the years, so we improvised with other objects. :)

Tara
Candy Land was my favorite game!!!
Kindra
I played and I loved this game!
Donna
I remember playing Candyland as a child, and with my son who is now 16! It is such a sweet and simple game, easy enough for a 4 year old to understand. The fact that it has withstood the test of time and generations tells you that it is a great game.
Should I win, I will give the game to the library where I work in the childrens department. We have a few game afternoons at the library every so often, and this game would be a great addition.
Thanks for all you do, Briana! I have gotten so many good deals and samples from your newsletter. Have a great Christmas!!
Connie

I would love to play this with my son now.
Nina Knight

I played Candyland with my children and with my grandchild – am sure I will continue with the younger grandchildren, too!
Micki
Wowzer… My sisters and I spent HOURS playing Candyland! HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS!!!!!
We would have marathons and the cousins would come with theirs and we would really have marathins!
Then daughter and I spent many hours and days playing it as well.
Would love to win one to play with the grandkids now!
GREAT GAME!
Dina
I have never played this game before, but is hopping that I win so that I will get a chance to!

I used to play Candyland with my older brother. I to remember batteling it out to reach the Candy castle and look forward to creating some of those memories with my daughter.
Diane Fallis
I am not a child but an elderly widow but this story is pertinent. In 2002 my late husband passed away as I was taking care of my 4 yr old grandson who had been diagnosed with Brainstem Cancer (High Grade Pontine Brainstem Glioma). After my husband’s passing I became the daily caretaker of my grandson and stayed with the family during his illness and passing. Candyland was the one game that Garrett could play and enjoy. He was quite immobile and eventually had a stroke but could still play Candyland with one hand. That is one of the greatest memories of my life…that he would insist on playing Candyland with me as he could always somehow beat his Grandma. Even though one side of his face became paralyzed he would still get that gleam in his eyes and have a slight smile on the other side of his mouth. At the end he could not talk but could still manage to make his desires known about wanting to play Candyland. So you see though I am 66 yrs young playing Candyland with little Garrett before he passed away was a very special memory. I would love to win the game so I can play it with my grandchildren who are temporarily living with me while dad is out of work. They are 7,8,9, and just turned 12 and won’t get much for Christmas this year because I am on Soc. Sec. and trying my best to support all of us. Thanks for such a great website. It really helps me immensely in trying to stick to a budget. Merry Christmas. :)

I loved playing with my mom and sister on rainy days!!
deanna
My family never had this game so I was SO excited to go to a friend’s house who had it.
xoxoxo
Debbie
we used to play this a lot when I was young….we also played with our kids until they discover video games. thanks for the chance to win
shannon o
I didnt have candyland as a kid that I can remember.
Tracy
Oh my gosh do I ever remember playing CandyLand when I was younger. I would get so mad when I got one of the special pieces and I had to end up going back 1/2 the board and my sister would laugh and laugh and laugh at me. I was competitive even when it came to playing CandyLand. Merry Christmas to you all.
Elizabeth @ Table for Five
I played Candyland as a kid! I bought one at a garage sale a few summers ago but the box ripped and half the pieces fell out and it ended up in the trash, so I would love to win a new game to play with my 5 year old daughter!
DeeAnn S
I loved Candy Land as a kid. That, along with Chutes and Ladders, was among my favorite games growing up. My kids played it too, and I still have their game. And even though it’s getting a bit tattered, when we all get together, usually after a party or picnic, we break out the board games and have a go. I think Candy Land is one of those classics that’ll never get old. Thanks.
Casey D.
I remember always wanting to be Queen Frostine and no matter how much I loved chocolate I was always a little bit afraid of the chocolate monster. Thanks for the trip down memory lane :)
Itiliame Davis
I still love and ADORE this game! Princess lolly was of course my FAV and I was HORRIFIDE of Lord Licorice. I never wanted my “red girl” to be anywhere near him. This would be a fun giveaway to win :) Thanks!
Sharon C
I loved candy land! My twin sis and I would play it all the time together. It was my favorite game growing up!
Elena
My favorite memory of playing candy land would probably be that I loved playing with my entire family on cold weekends when we didnt have to get up early for school the next day. We always had snacks to go along with it!
phxbne
I grew up in Australia with no Candyland!
bexriz
I didn’t play Candyland until I was in my late teens…but I still thought it was great! I’d love for my kids to have much earlier memories of playing it than I did.
Teri
Candyland has to be the easiest game. It is the perfect “1st game” for little ones. I remember everyone always wanted to get a character to be able to move to their space.
Susan G
This was one of my favorite games. Would love to play it again!
Cindy
I remember my Mom and sisters letting me win.
Laura Hall
I am 50 and I played Candyland, I played Candyland with my children and I look forward to playing it with my grandaughter!

I played this with my daughter when she was small, and now I know my grandkids are just the right age to play it too!

barbarabaker
We were never allowed games as a child, so no, I don’t have any memories to share, but I would love to win and create some memories with my own children (who have yet to play it).
Thanks for the chance and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
Jenn Oldaker
Of course I played candyland, hasn’t EVERY kid?? LOL I think candyland is a requirement of growing up :)
Pollyana
I loved the play anything that would get my mom to spend time with me. Candy Land was always colorful and fun.
Honey
I most definitely played Candyland as a child… though if I recall my poor little brother didn’t always want to play with me. The tough life of a younger brother! :)
janelle
I loved candyland as a child! My brother and I played together often ( we lived on a farm away from everyone so we were each other’s only play mates). I remember getting so anxious each time I picked a card becasue I so wanted the card with teh pretty picture that would let me land in the gumdrop castle or whatever it was called!
Michelle Fields
Candy Land was one of my favorite games! Making it come to life in a cake walk at school was even better! What better way to make a child’s imagination come to life! Yum!
Chavon Riggins Smith
This is one game my children don’t have! I remember saying, “I got Molasses Swamp!!”
Thanks for the chance to win!!
marie O
I remember playing this game with my mom. We didn’t have much, but this was something we could do together. Wish I could go back in time and play it with her again, she has been gone for more then 23yrs. Would love to play this with my kids before they grow up too much to want to play it with me.
Thanks
Sarah G
I remember playing it (with much fierce competition, on my part) – but, I suspect my parents let me win, just so the game would end sooner. ;)
Frances Kalender
I don’t remember playing CandyLand as a child, however I played it with my kids when they very were young. It helped not only with their colors & counting, but also taught them about winning & losing and whoever won the game got a treat :)
Magda
I didn’t play it enough! I enjoyed playing (and beating) my smaller brother.
terri stump
What fond memories I have growing up as a child and playing Candyland! Now I am playing it with grandchildren! :)
Wendy
I remember playing Candy Land at school in either kindergarten or first grade but we never had it at home. I would love to have it for my own kids. Thanks!

rachel renee layer
I remember playing with my brother and sisters and my youngest sister would steal the game pieces and run to tell mom we wouldn’t let her play.You see she was too young to play so she didn’t want us to play either.
Leah
I played Candyland as a child, with the kids I babysat, and with my own child when he was younger. I am looking forward to having another baby soon and would love to have this game to share with my future children!
Jessica Lee
I loved playing this game with my Daddy! (25 years old and I still call him Daddy!) We would make mac and cheese, have root beer and play this in the living room. One of my all time favorite games to play.
stephanie
I LOVED Candyland and still do! I have 3 kids and we all love to play…although we hate it when we have to go back to one of the less favorable palces! LOL A true classic!
Martha Hill-Teeples
I remember playing CandyLand as a little girl.I played with my 3 sisters. Sometimes when we traveled we would play in the back of the station wagon !
Elsie
While it was so long ago, I can’t remember if I played Candyland, my favorite memory of this game is playing it with my grandson John when he was small. He is now 10. I can’t wait thill his little brother is a little older and we can play it with him.
cynthia naspinski
I played it all the time and now my kids are using the one Iplayed on so a new one is in order!
