I was recently playing Candy Land. What’s interesting to note about the game is that the outcome is decided once the card deck has been shuffled.
However, I don’t know why this guy is so upset that Candy Land doesn’t teach problem solving skills. It doesn’t claim to. It teaches colors, counting by one and twos in a color-based order, and teaches kids the disappointment of going back to the Peppermint Forest even though you’re within squares of the King’s castle.
I think maybe it’s just time this dad upgraded his kids to Risk and be done with it.
Wait just a minute. You mean people actually play Battleship without using a search pattern? This guy’s real problem is lack of technique. Apply yourself, man!
I don’t know about you guys, but Candyland basicall ushered me into puberty, by sunconsciously equating my lifelong obcession with candy with pretty girls.
Mike D commented to me that he always preferred Queen Frostine – I do also, but she lacked
A) certain “girl” qualities with the white hair, and being a queen vs. princess
B) decent photos on the internet (which I find shocking)

I definitely use a search pattern, but right now my record vs my wife is 1-6 and she uses a mostly-random approach. It is frustrating.
