Candy Land

Place the board showing a winding path of colored squares. Shuffle the deck of color cards (red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple) and special cards (Lollipop, Gumdrop, etc.). Each player chooses a gingerbread pawn and places it at the start.

1. On your turn, draw the top card of the deck.
2. Move your pawn to the next square of that color (e.g., if you draw blue, move to the next blue square).
3. If you draw a special card with a picture (e.g., Candy Cane), move to that specific location on the board.
4. If you draw a double color card (e.g., two red squares), move to the second red square of that color.
5. There are no choices; you just move where the card tells you.
6. The board has shortcuts (like the Gumdrop Mountains).
7. If you land on a licorice space, you lose a turn.
8. The game has no strategy, only luck.

The first player to reach the Candy Castle at the end of the path wins. There is no point scoring. The game is for young children.

Candy Land: Castle Card Game is a different version. Candy Land: The World of Sweets adds new characters.
