Wow...when I was in 2nd grade our teacher had us play this game, one rainy day inside the classroom. There were several 'game' stations to choose from, from card games to board games to other things. She must have added stuff to the game, cause the reward for winning the game was to wear a tiara and a feather boa and wand, till you lost the next game then you were out and others got to play it. Unfortunately for me, I had never played the game before and it was too crowded and not enough time
The secret about Candyland, is (Lowers voice to a whisper): It's not a game - it's a teaching tool to help children learn colors and linear path progression disguised as a game. Shh . . . Don't tell anyone. I have a feeling I may be playing with my 2 year old daughter later on today.
Your kids are bouncing off the walls. . . I wager the reason is becuase you fead them so much candy and you do it as if throwing meat to a pack of dogs. :) Where is the mom. She would not approve.
Thanks for doing this entertaining review of Candyland. I just bought it for my 3yr old and were just about to play it and thought I would show her a video to help with the game play.
Yeah, my nephews really enjoy playing games simply because they like the theme. Most don't have any challenge or strategy, I might as well give all players a number and run a random number generator and whoever has the number that comes up wins. yay. But yeah, if the kids enjoy the theme and they like it when someone gets sent up a ladder and someone else slides down a snake and that makes them happy, then I'll play it with them.
Congrats on the 1000 reviews. I've been watching them for a while too and have enjoyed them. And have bought quite a few good games based off of them. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Tom (and the Vasel fam) for all the reviews and video content. Been watching for a little over a year now and look forward to the next 1000 and all the other content you all provide. Love everything about the show. Thanks!!
Thanks for all the reviews. In your Grab Bag review a while back you mentioned that there were pigs on the tokens and didn't see the connection. I'm guessing it is an allusion to "pig in a poke" the pig in a bag which was an unknown entity until after it was purchased.
Hi Tom, thanks for all the reviews. I dont normally post in the comments but I regularly watch The Dice Tower and it's been great fun. You're all so natural. You've also given me so many ideas for games. :)
I'd have time to make my own video reviews, but it's all taken up watching The Dice Tower! And reading your reviews on BGG. God bless you Tom and family, I get a huge amount of enjoyment out of your show, and I'm thrilled to know you're Christians. Simon (New Zealand)
congrats on the 1000th review. I just bought a copy of Candyland for the theme of the office Halloween party. I figured I'd need it for a few years from now, with kids.
I cheated at candyland when I was 8 or something, I snuck the sugarland princess at the top of the deck and my dad, to this day, has not played another game of it with me.
awesome review for the 1000th! This review reminds me that on top of the insight you provide, the best part of your reviews is the comedy.
I hope this doesnt put an end to holly's fake meeple eating.
Congrats!!! You always made me had a great time each day with the reviews and not forgetting helping me to choose games which I want to purchase... God bless and hopefully will get to meetup with ya
Tom, even though you are sooooo far away, I feel like I know you and could just sit down and have a great time playing a game with you. You have added much to my gaming experience. Thank You.
u kidding me? of course you the time to review these games,,the bigger question is when do you have the time to play them all

I still think that it was a game piece from the tower. I forgot what the game was. It couldn't have been a jelly bean...I refuse to believe it.

Yeah, Candyland is awful but remember it is for very young children. It gets them into gaming, if nothing else.
