HiDark,
As you might have guessed already one of my passions is history, and 
that is why I know or find interest in such things as how this or that 
game got started. As you pointed out Candy Land is an all American 
creation, and terminology so that might explain why it hasn't caught on 
over seas.
Though, i noticed in your own posts even differences in the same games. 
For example you mentioned Snakes and Ladders. We have a game over here 
which is basically the same game but called Shoots and Ladders. They are 
very similar, but a bit different as well.
Then, there is Checkers. You guys call it Drafts, but is esentually the 
same game. I would be interested to note how the game got to be named 
something else in your part of the world, and Checkers here.
Cheers.
