Candy Land (1949)

ByMichail

Candy Land

Candy Land is a simple racing board game created by Eleanor Abbott and published by Milton Bradley in 1948. The game is popular and significant because it was initially designed for children who were quarantined due to the polio epidemic in the 1940s and 1950s. Eleanor Abbott, a schoolteacher, created the game to entertain and engage young children during their recovery. The game has since become a classic and is one of the top-selling children’s board games of all time, selling an average of one million units per year.
