Candy Land was a game I wouldn’t have particularly wanted to play, but that’s what the girls wanted! Three little girls and I sat around a table, playing the game. One thing I learned was that I seemed to have very poor luck, moving one or two color spaces at a time. Another thing I learned was that young innocent children can be really good cheaters at board games. To my surprise, two of the three girls cheated consistently during the game! When I would teasingly call them out on their cheating, they could giggle in a mischievous little laugh. To say the least, I lost miserably without cheating. The winner though, to show good karma is a true thing, was the youngest girl named Paloma, maybe 5 years old. It seemed to be a symbolic message from the universe saying that slow and steady does win the race.
This is such a delightful game! I always love board games for both their ability to create extreme competition while at the same time bringing together people. It would be such fun to play more of these as a House.
