i liked to play it a lot and now my kids like to play it
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!

We didn’t have a game but we always looked forward to visiting our cousins which had a closet full of games.
Oh, Candy Land! I had so much fun playing this as a kid with my brother and sister. I’m sure my mom would find the cards all around the house as we had a tendency to spread the color all over the place!

I loved candyland, we went through many boards when I was little. Thanks
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!
Playing w my kids = )
I played it with my sister, when I was a child and then I played it with my 26 year old daughter when she was a child. It brought back pleasant memories!!

Candyland was my all-time favorite childhood game and I still love to play it.
The first time I played the game was in first grade, with my bff at the time, Julie. I looved it! It was much more fun than playing Rummikub with my brothers. :)
I have great memories of playing Candyland with my twin brother, and older sister. We played often. I actually played with anyone who was willing. I always loved getting to go to the various yummy places on the board (who didn’t), so long as I didn’t get slowed down or stuck in the mollasses! :)
I remember playing it with my mom. So much fun!
I can remember sitting in the living room floor playing Candyland with my sister and parents. It was one of only a handful of games I actually remember playing as a kid.

we used to fight over which part of candy land was the best!
I loved playing Candyland with my mom and sister when we were little!
Candyland was my ALL TIME favorite board game when I was a kid! My Mom & I used to play it all the time! It was our Go-To game. Although, through the years, pieces have been lost &/or broken :o( I’m so glad it is still around & can’t wait to play it with my daughter one day!
I use to play candyland when I was a child and then I played with my children when they were growing up and now I play with my grandchildren..oh what fun

Luved Candyland…I remember my older brother always winning and my younger sister always tossing the board and having a hissy fit. lol
i finally get to play candyland with my son. never too late to play.
I played with it all the time as a little kid
I didn’t have Candyland as a kid. But, I played with our 5 kids all the time. We had so much fun. It was the first board game each one of our 5 kids ever learned to play. I’ve got over 30 yrs worth of memories with just playing Candyland.
I only played CandyLand once or twice with my little cousin.
I remember stacking the deck so that my younger siblings would always have to go back to the beginning and I could win!!! Poor kids!
I remember playing it with my childhood friend named Poppy. I would love to play it with my kids
I don’t remember playing candyland as a child. I enjoyed The Game of Life better, but can’t wait to play it with my kids.
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.
I remember playing it with my brothers and sisters. I was always hoping I didn’t have to go back when I drew a card. We would play so many games.
i loved playing candyland b/c I enjoyed seeing all the colors and characters on the board
I LOVED this game! Queen Frostine was my favorite! Of course, I think she’s Princess Frostine in the new games. I was just telling my husband we should buy this for our daughter!

all the time with my mom and brother!
I loved playing this game with my granny :)

Loved this game
I do remember playing this game. I had this game, Hi Ho Cherry-O, Shoots and Ladders, and Trouble. I think you can still buy them all. Thanks for the giveaway!
I remember playing against my sister and setting up the cards so that I’d go further faster than anyone else. Little did I realize that you have to set up more than just the first few cards.
I loved candyland and still do – my favorite was the gingerbread man and I still love gingerbread men.
I do remember playing candyland with my sister. Thinking about it brought back some good memories. I’d like to share that joy with my kiddos.
I loved playing Candyland when I was young, I loved to pretend that I was “Princess Lolly” or the Queen. :-)
loved playing candyland, the board was so colorful! Loved how the pieces were of gingerbread men.
I think I was 4 or 5 years old when I first got this from santa! I remember it was my favorite game! I still would play if I had one! I love board games! Great way to have some family time!
I played Candy Land as a child, in fact, I still have that one. Think I’m ready for a new one… :)
I loved playing Candy Land when I was a child, and I still enjoy now as an adult! I remember playing with my dad and my sister on winter evenings when we are stuck inside. It was so fun and nice to just be together. I play this game with my 6 year old now and we always enjoy it!
I loved to play Candyland. I was always trying to get someone to play it with me.
I loved playing Candyland with my friends…of course we would always make up our own rules :)

I remember playing Candy Land when I grew up my families dairy farm. It is such a colorful game.
i LOVED this game growing up. i still do! i would play this all the time, i swear. its just so fun.
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.
I never owned the game but always wanted it.
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!
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. ;-}
I used to get so frustrated when I slid down the slides and so happy when I was able to skip up the ladder.
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. :)
of course i played candyland as a kid…now i love playing i with my students during our afterschool program.

My older brother use to play the game with me.
Several of us use to get together and play Candyland while listening to Donny Osmond in the 60’s. Awesome and one of the best games ever made.
I don’t remember much…I played all the time and the cards were starting to tear from being worn out.
My memories were not for my childhood but when my daughter was little. She just loved this game!
Candy Land was my favorite game!!!
I played and I loved this game!
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!!
I remember playing this game with my sister. Brings back lots of memories!
I would love to play this with my son now.
unfortunatly, i did not play candyland as a child. =(
Iton eof my favorites. It is a great game becasue even the youngest of players can play as long as they can find the colors. I can remember playing Candy Land and Memory with my aunt. I would love to add it to my games so that I could play with my youngest.
I loved the pretty colors and playing with my sister!
This was the first game I received as a gift when I was a child. Loved playing it!
Well I didn’t growing up, but my teens did and they loved it and still cheated :)

I hated getting sent back to start!
I played Candyland with my children and with my grandchild – am sure I will continue with the younger grandchildren, too!
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!
I have never played this game before, but is hopping that I win so that I will get a chance to!
OH..I used to love landing on the sugar plum fairy!!!
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.
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!!
My family never had this game so I was SO excited to go to a friend’s house who had it.
xoxoxo
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
I didnt have candyland as a kid that I can remember.
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.
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!
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.
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 :)
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!
I loved candy land! My twin sis and I would play it all the time together. It was my favorite game growing up!
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!
I grew up in Australia with no Candyland!
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.
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.
This was one of my favorite games. Would love to play it again!
I remember my Mom and sisters letting me win.
I am 50 and I played Candyland, I played Candyland with my children and I look forward to playing it with my grandaughter!
Me & my grandma always played :)
My young granddaughter and I love this game!!
i do remember playing as a child with my cousins and loving it. i have been thinking it was time to get it for my 3 year old!
ha i love this game! i think that this was the last game that only 2 of us (I’m 1 of 6 kids) played before the others showed up (i’m the oldest, too and the rest are boys!). i loved this game!!!
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!
Oh my goodness – this was my favorite game as a kid!! I loved dreaming I was actually in a land of candy – with a castle, etc – as is in the picture at the END. What a fun prize! since i dont own this game right now!
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!!!
Of course I played candyland, hasn’t EVERY kid?? LOL I think candyland is a requirement of growing up :)
I loved the play anything that would get my mom to spend time with me. Candy Land was always colorful and fun.
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! :)
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!
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!
This is one game my children don’t have! I remember saying, “I got Molasses Swamp!!”
Thanks for the chance to win!!
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
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. ;)
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 :)
I didn’t play it enough! I enjoyed playing (and beating) my smaller brother.
What fond memories I have growing up as a child and playing Candyland! Now I am playing it with grandchildren! :)
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!

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.
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!
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.
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!
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 !
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.
I played it all the time and now my kids are using the one Iplayed on so a new one is in order!
I remember playing with my sister and cousin we loved it! Wish i was a kid again!!! lizi serrano / mustang203@msn.com
