Also, the dot spaces could force players to exhaust several turns without moving. The classic game takes longer to complete than one might expect, because the location cards can send players backwards. The 2004 version changed the last space to a rainbow space, meaning it applies to any color drawn by a player, thus clarifying any remaining controversy about how one exactly wins the game.
The game is won by landing on or passing the final square the official rules specify that any card that would cause the player to advance past the last square wins the game, but many play so that one must land exactly on the last square to win. In the 2004 version, dot spaces were replaced with licorice spaces that prompt the player landing on it to simply lose his or her next turn. A player who lands on such a space is stuck (all cards are ignored) until a card is drawn of the same color as the square. 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.īefore the 2004 version, there were three colored spaces marked with a dot. The deck has one card for each named location, and drawing such a card moves a player directly to that board location. Some cards have two marks of a color, in which case the player moves his or her marker ahead to the second-next space of that color. 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. The remaining spaces are named locations such as Candy Cane Forest and Gum Drop Mountain, or characters such as Queen Frostine and Gramma Nutt. The board consists of a winding, linear track made of 134 spaces, most red, green, blue, yellow, orange or violet. The race is woven around a story line about finding the lost king of Candy Land.
