Candy Land (also Candyland) is a simple racing board game. The game requires no reading and minimal counting skills, making it suitable for young children.
Due to the design of the game, there is no strategy involved—players are never required to make choices, just follow directions. The winner is predetermined by the shuffle of the cards.
The race is woven around a storyline about finding King Kandy, the lost king of Candy Land. The board consists of a winding, linear track made of 134 spaces, most red, green, blue, yellow, orange or purple. The remaining pink spaces are named locations such as Candy Cane Forest and Gum Drop Mountain, or characters such as Queen Frostine and Gramma Nutt.
Players take turns removing the top card from a stack, most of which show one of six colors, and then moving their marker ahead to the next space of that color. Some cards have two marks of a color, in which case the player moves the marker ahead to the second-next space of that color. The deck has one card for each named location, and drawing such a card moves a player directly to that board location. This move can be either forward or backward in the classic game; backward moves can be ignored for younger players in the 2004 version of the game.
When you wake up in the morning, and you stretch and yawn
and you roll all over me (gonna make you, mmm)
You can try to avoid it, but it can't be destroyed
When you hear that noise (gonna make you, oh yeah)
When you wake up in the mornin' (gonna make you)
When you get out of the shower (gonna make you)
Try to put on your clothes, think you're ready to go
And you attempt this alone (gonna make you, mmm)
I hope that doesn't scare you
I hope that doesn't scare you off
------ jumpsuits and leotards
(I hope that doesn't scare you off)
I'm about to come and steal your heart
(I hope that doesn't scare you off)
Clap your hands everybody, everybody clap your hands
I'm here to make you move, and share my groove and spread it across the land
Clap your hands everybody, everybody clap your hands
All the guys and girls, welcome to my world
To this candyland
Love, angel, music, baby
