Game History:

Game Details:
🎲 Finished size = approximately 18" x 18" 🎲 This incredible board is the original version of Candy Land from 1949. It is actually the second version of this board. The first version shows a line on the boy's leg and he and the girl have a brace on their leg representing polio. 🎲 All four wooden playing pieces and cards (7 treat cards) are in great condition. The red pawn has a small break on it's tip which appears to be a factory issue. Cards are a bit faded, but show almost no wear. 🎲 Both the lid and bottom box have had repairs, but are in very good condition. The bottom box has some light staining. Please see pictures.
Games contain small pieces and are not intended for children under the age of 4.
