Hi Thomas,
Cool, thanks. Any time that you feel like it go ahead and send the information
about the Candy Land game. I will definitely keep it until I get started on
making the game. I would need all of the information like the names of the

If you need any help let me know. My son has a copy of Candy Land
although I it is slightly different from the one I had as a kid. Its a

considdered a vulgar expression. There are of course less polite ways of

Hi Dark,
Well, in Candy Land there really aren't that many squares besides the
Molasses Pits and/or Sticky Patches that have any real functionality
in the game. The Candy Cane Forest, for example, is just a place in
Candy Land that you can move forward or backward to when that card is
drawn. Same

Well candy canes are a hard candy that you would suck on. As for flavors
they tend to come in a variety. The most common is peppermint but I've
also had chocolate

Hi Dark,
Right. All of that is pretty flexible as far as I am concerned. If I
wanted to make an exact copy of the game I certainly can but I see no
problem with making custom boards to suit other nationalities given
there are so many different candies or sweets out there. That said,

Hi Dark,
Well, in this case hard candy is just that. Things like Jolly
Ranchers, Jaw Breakers, some lollipops, and so on are a very hard
candy that could break a tooth if you bite them. You suck them until
they are soft and then eat them or just suck them until they
completely melt in your mouth.
Hi Tom.
that is an interesting idea, indeed while the game candy land as I said
doesn't exist over here as far as I know, there are plenty of similar ones.
