I remember growing up with Candy Land – it first came out way back in 1949 and was a huge deal! It was practically the first board game a lot of us ever played. The goal was simple: race to Candy Castle, meeting fun characters like the grumpy Lord Licorice and the super-sweet Princess Lolly along the way. For me, Candy Land wasn’t just about moving your piece around a board; it was a totally magical trip into a world made of candy! It really helped me get into board games when I was little.

Nicolas Cage is adding another superhero role to his resume with his appearance as Ben Reilly in Spider-Noir.
