Fast, fun, easy to play. Looks great on a table. Only takes three licks to get to the center of this game.

My gaming friends immediately told me that they felt the quality of the game components was High. The cards are really well made and the acrylic "candy bars" looked great and had weight to them. The artwork on the box was impressive as well. All in all, an excellent presentation .This is not a game that you will spend an evening playing. It is a 15 - 20 minute filler that is incredibly easy to explain and teach.With that being said, it should be understood that this game has many "take that" elements. It can be frustrating because you may make an excellent move that brings you a nice scoring opportunity only to have the next player erase it. We thought it was fun, but a family that includes young kids might not appreciate the harshness of many of the game options.The game seemed well balanced though and none of us felt that anyone in particular was the consistent target of all the others. The scores were all reasonably close at the end of the game and everyone thought that it was fun. We had quite a few laughs during the course of 15 minutes!This game followed a basic rule of entertainment. "leave 'em wanting more!" It did not overstay its welcome. The length of time required for 4 people to play was perfect and I know that I will be taking out this game many times in the future to bridge the gap in between more complex games.

This is a fun game that will make a great addition to anyone's game closet. It is very easy to learn with a fun premise. Each player plays the role of confectioner and your goal is to fulfill your candy order before the other players. While it is listed as a game for 2-4 players, it really needs 3 players. I wouldn't play it with two players as it just isn't fun. It is well made. The cards and other pieces are durable and good quality. It is a quick game and takes about 15 minutes to play. It is easy to teach and learn which makes it a fun "quick notice" game.

This is an easy and quick game. Takes about 15 minutes, once you understand the dynamics. There was a small learning curve, but after two games we were able to really get into it. It is a card game where you must fulfill candy orders which are colorful acyclic pieces, which have points and actions which makes every move calculating. We played with two people and it was fun, but would enjoy it more with 3 or 4 people. It is a fun family game.

This is a pretty simple game to play, but with a lot of complexity that you can add in with older players. Young kids can play it (our almost 6yo son has), but won't be able to strategize much. You have a line of candy pieces and card to draw certain ones. As you take them, the gaps they create close and the pattern changes slightly. You can also take cards or candy away from other players, depending on what you take. It's a "take that" game that is just the right amount of mean for no one to get upset. Great for families.
