Hi Dark, Candy Land is one of our popular childrens games here in the USA. It was created in the 1940's by a woman named Eleanor Abbot. As I understand the legendary story the woman had suffered most of her life from the results of having had Polio so she had gone to work for a childrens hospital attending to sick children with Polio. Like all nice and caring people she created a simple board game she drew up on cardboard with a rainbow and candies on it and some wooden pieces from another game and invented Candy Land. In the late 40's she sold the game to Milton Bradly, now owned by Hazbro, and it sold like hot cakes with American moms and pops buying it for their children. It is the top selling childrens game of all time here in the U.S. Which brings up an interesting point. I find it interesting that Candy Land is like the mega childs board game for kids ages 3 to 6 here in the USA, but you are from the U.K. and have never heard of the game. What games do you guys over in the U.K. play with your tottlers?
