“It is still a white mans world”…. What Cakes failed to mention is that the game was invented by a white man as well as the company owner who manufactures it is. I threw out the DEI version and bought an original. We play it together after eating pancakes with Aunt Jamima syrup.
This is so fascinating. I haven’t played Candy Land since I was a child (the Lord Licorice and the bitter bats years) and I had no idea they made all these changes over the years. It makes me think about how The Game of Life has changed to keep up with the times. I remember playing it as a child and you had to get married, but when I played a more recent version at a family gathering, you can now make a choice to stay single or get married. It’s interesting to think about how these children’s games reflect the times AND the political landscape when you dig a little deeper.

No, these changes were driven by liberals and their DEI agenda.
