I loved this game so much as a child. Although, I had an updated version in the 80s.

Queen Frostine was awesome!

Queen Frostine in the Ice Cream Sea. She is the BEST.

They forgot to add that illiterate adults may join in on the fun as well!

The Molasses Swamp for one thing.

Nowadays, thinking of Candyland always reminds me of the Mystery Science Theater segment.

Man, that ad/catalogue copy is hot...on fiahhh!! Who wouldn't spend a buck for that bang?

"Board lies flat, and can be folded in half for easy storage in attractive cardboard game box, which also conveniently holds playing pieces, cards and instructions. Fits on most standard shelves. Contains no actual candy. Each round of play provides twenty minutes of wholesome diversion. Children learn to follow rules and take turns while avoiding loud playtime hooliganism. "

Definitely one of my favorite games as a kid, too! I think I still have mine somewhere around here. :)
