How to Be a Candy Champion!

Playing Candy Land is easy peasy! You draw a card, and it shows a color. You move your game piece to the next square of that color.

The first one to reach the Candy Castle wins!

Who Dreamed Up This Yummy Game?

Why Candy Land is So Cool!

Candy Land is special because it's one of the first games that little kids can play all by themselves. You don't need to know how to read or count very well. It's all about colors and pictures!
