Candy Land

board game · classic toy · kids game · 1949

A game for everyone. Candy Land was created by Eleanor Abbott and first published by Milton Bradley (now Hasbro) in 1949. You don't need to know how to read or count very well to play it, which makes it perfect for little kids.

A sweetly simple journey. Players move their game pieces along a winding path through a magical land filled with candy and treats, trying to reach the castle at the end. There's no strategy involved because you never have to make choices, you just follow the rules.

Super popular worldwide. Over 50 million copies of Candy Land have been sold since it came out, making it one of the best-selling board games of all time.

Made by a game designer. Eleanor Abbott designed this game to be fun and simple for young children, focusing on imagination and the joy of following a colorful adventure rather than winning through clever tactics.
