Candy (2005)

About this game

Tobi and his little sister Lisa are given a big bag of sweets but because the two of them pull at it together, the bag tears and the sweets fall out. What a mess! The sweets have to be picked up quickly! Concentration and quick reaction are needed to do this. In the rules there are 3 different suggestions on how to play this game, but in a nutshell you roll the 3 color dice and try to find the piece of candy (or sock, in another version) that has all the colors rolled. The first player to spot it may either take it or score a point (depending on the way you play it).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
