What happens to all the Candyland board games after kids grow up?
Packed away for grandchildren.
Great board games never die, they live forever. Never say Candyland A”H, it’s Candyland SHLITA.
I still play Candyland.
The box says “Ages 3+”. It doesn’t give an upper limit.
They don’t last until the kids grow up. The menchies get lost, the cards get bent, and the board gets ripped in half. And Chaimele hid the Princess Ice Cream card and now no one can find it.
It gets donated to the Jewish candy store in Lakewood called “candyland” who passes them on to couples who just had babies and their kids play with them
Candyland is a “game” that cannot appeal to anyone over the age of about eight, since it’s completely deterministic. There are no decisions to make. Draw, move; draw, move. A robot could play it. A stupid robot.
Years later, when you’re thinking back on those early years, you end up playing Run For Your Life, Candy Man.
