Clu Clu Land - NES Game (Retro Fam)

Candy Land is the perfect classic game for the whole family. This game is basic enough for small children and as an adult it is still fun and exciting. It has brought back so many fun memories for me. I am so happy that I can share this fun game with my children. No skill is required and because it's all about matching colors it's a very simple game. There is a reason it has been around for so long. Also, the pieces are large enough they aren't a choking hazard. My 5yr old and I played and my 8mnth old just chewed on the pieces we were not using. It was a win win for all 3 of us!

I remember Milton-Bradley as the original maker of Candy Land, which it eventually sold to Hasbro. Candy Land is a great way to initiate family game night! It’s fun to play this childhood game with my grandson to help reinforce his color knowledge, too.If you have a high-energy kid, the thin cards will get creased and bent straight away, which is to be expected with any game that uses cards rather than a spinner. No worries. It means your game is getting plenty of use, which is the entire point, right?If price is more important to you than time, shop around locally. I overpaid on retrolio and found out later I could get this exact version for $7.99 elsewhere.My other issue is the board design I received which is too busy (see my photo). It makes it difficult for beginners to distinguish the path from the other game board illustrations. If this bothers you, too, try looking for the Retro Series Candy Land edition.Yes, I’d buy Candy Land again, but I’d do a bit more checking on prices and different editions first.

I last played this over thirty years ago. Bought this for my son. Simplistic concept, but easy enough for a 3 year to grasp - which I guess is the whole point.Included in the rules is way of playing the game by drawing two cards each turn then allowing the player to choose which card to play. A simple method of introducing decision-making.The game-board is approximately 18"x24" in size. Initially, the board seemed rather small, however, I suppose the smaller size makes it easier for a child to reach across the entire board. Very colorful as always, although the subject matter of the game seems to increase the craving for sweets afterwards.
