What are the official rules of the board game candyland?

The race is straightforward, woven around a simple story line about finding the lost king of Candyland. The board consists of a winding, linear track made of 134 spaces, most of which are one of the rainbow colors. The remaining few spaces are named locations such as Candy Cane Forest and Gum Drop Mountain, or characters like Queen Frostine and Lord Licorice. Players take turns removing the top card from a randomized 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 his or her marker ahead to the second-next space of that color. The deck also contains one card for each named location, and drawing such a card moves a player directly to that location's space on the board. This move can be either forward or backward in the classic game; backward moves are ignored in the current game. Finally, there are three colored squares marked with a dot. A player that lands on such a square is stuck [all cards are ignored] until a card is drawn of the same color as the square. The game is won by landing on or passing the final square - the official rules explicitly specify that any card that would cause the player to advance past the last square wins the game, but many people play you must land exactly on the last square to win.

[The classic game takes longer to complete than one might expect, because the location cards can send players backwards.]

Hope this helps! Have fun!

YES, CANDYLAND omg it was actually the best :) I had the computer game version of it too from out of a cereal box ;)

It is simple. You pick a colored person. (if game pieces are still little people) Pick up a card that has a color on it.( say you pick a blue card you go to the nearest blue space double color cards you advance to the next to nearest colored spot indicated by color of card.) If you pick up a character card you go to the spot of that character indicated on game board.

its simple pick a character. then go from smallest to oldest. then put the little card face down in a pile. have the smallest player pick a card if the color is red have them go to the nearest red color in the board. if its 2 colors have them move two times to that same color. if its the sign of a place have them go to it. first one to finish wins

Here is a link for the exact rules right out of the box.
