Hi Bryan, The games you mentioned are actually quite easy to play. I don't have a copy of the rules in front of me, but I certainly could fill you in on basic game play since the games themselves aren't overly complicated. Connect 4 is a very easy game to play with very simple rules. Basically you have a plastic game board that stands up vertically. On it there is 8 columns of slots with 8 rows where you can place your game pieces. There are two colors of round game pieces. One player gets the red and the other plays black. The object of the game is to get 4 in a row either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. candy land is also a game with very simple rules. Basically, each player takes a little gingerbread man, and they must follow the rainbow path to the candy castle. Each player draws color coded cards which tells the player which color on the rainbow path to move to next red, blue, green, yellow, etc... Sometimes you will get a card that takes you to traps like the Molasses Swamp or the Ice Cream Floats. You will pass interesting places such as the peppermint stick forest or the gumdrop mountain. If you really want to get a feel for the game you might want to pick up a real one at Wal-Mart and have a sighted person read the rules, and give you a square by square description of the board. The game is usually $12 to $14 at most U.S. Toy and game stores. As for Trouble i haven't personally played it much but the basic idea is you have to get your pegs to the finish line before everyone else does. You roll the dice by pushing down the bubble in the center of the board and it rolls the dice. If you land on an aponents peg it goes back to start, and if they land on your peg you are bak to start and are in trouble. Some trouble games also have cards, and I am not certain how they work with the game. Hth.
