Crazy Candy

Candy for me or for the monster

Four fruit candies - all featuring two colors, that is, one basic color and a stripe decoration of a contrasting color - and the Crazy Candy Monster, all made from soft, nice-the-touch plastic, are set out next to the face-down stack of 60 well-shuffled candy cards. The candy cards show two, three or four pieces of candy, all monochromatic and with clearly distinguishable colors and shown on equally clearly contrasting background colors.

The starting player turns over the top card in a way that all can see it equally well, and all player try simultaneously to spot two candies on the card, corresponding in color to the colors of one of the four candies on the table, for instance one blue and one yellow candy for the yellow candy with blue stripes on the table. If you spot a pair, you grab the corresponding candy from the table. If you grabbed the correct candy, you get the card and put the candy back in the middle; all candies must always be easily reachable for all players.

If there is no correlation between candy colors on the card with the colors of one of the fruit candies on the table, the card is given to the player who is first to grab the Crazy Candy Monster and squeeze it so that it squeaks. When the last card has been played, you win with most cards.

For younger children you can set aside the cards featuring four pieces of candy for an easier game.

Simple, nice and explained within a minute - an ideal game for preschool children - color recognition, computing amounts and reacting at the right moment to grab candy or monster.
