Then, once you free him, you have to play a matching game where you pair capital and lowercase letters together so he can find his gum drop supply (looking back, I realize this makes no sense). The only way to free him is to put the candies in alphabetical order. When you arrive at the Gum Drop Mountains, you find the character Jolly buried in a pile of rock candy, each piece labeled with a different letter. Something interesting about this game is that certain sections of it are secretly educational. Mint find his missing animals by clicking on shadows that randomly appear in the forest. I was always fond of the Peppermint Forest, where you help Mr. Every time you choose a location, though, Lord Licorice will appear and cause chaos right before you get there, so you must always help the resident character with their problem in order to be rewarded with one of their candies. There are six unique locations that surround the castle, and you’re free to choose what order you visit them in, which I think is a nice touch. You set off with the assistant character, a gingerbread child by the name of Candy Kid, to find a way to gather all these candies before it’s too late. However, Lord Licorice’s castle is guarded by the greedy Gloppy, who will only let you pass if you feed him six unique candies, which can be gathered from the various areas around the kingdom. King Candy has been kidnapped by the evil Lord Licorice, and it’s up to you to free him. Pop’s candy shop is out of candy due to trouble in Candy Land. Also, the video game has plenty of quirks, and, similar to the board game, it’s hard to stay interested in it if you’re over the age of eight.

I’m pretty sure my family owned a copy, as I have vague memories of playing the board game. It doesn’t require strategy and is designed with small children in mind. Gameplay is simple: draw cards and move to the corresponding area or square on the board. There’s a very high chance you never knew there was a video game version, but the board game likely populated your shelf at some point. Join her on this week’s nostalgia trip as she looks back on the electronic version of the popular board game Candy Land. Games from My Childhood Library is a series where editor Katelyn reminisces on the games that populated the family computer throughout her youth.
