An Old Faithful

I've been playing this game since I was a toddler. I can remember playing it with my now-deceased grandmother (God rest her soul) when I would stay at her house for sleepovers. This is a great game!

i bought candy land for my oldest grand daughter 6 years ago.what an excellent starter game for children.so easy and kids love it.fast forward 5 years later I bought again for youngest grand daughter and the game changed.now the board is more flimsy and folds into 4,unlike the first one i bought folds in half and really sturdy.instead of cards,theres a wheel that you flick,which is filmsy.the original board was much more colorful and appealing.the men are also not as sturdy and the board alot smaller.the game concept is still the same and kids enjoy but not like original.companies keep changing things and not for the good and I feel they don't care and it falls in deaf ears.they took something great and made it just barley ok .this is why my rating for quality went to a one star.effectivness I gave a 5 and I was generous in giving it a 4 star for great price,which would have got a 5 star had they not changed it.i would purchase again but cringe at doing so.such a shame.

Such a great addicitve game. Perfect for kids and keeps them entertained!
