The Candyland wiki is wild. Here's an actual quote: "King Kandy appears to be the sole arbiter of the Candy Land justice system, with the power to convict and sentence criminals on the spot. It is unknown if there are any constitutional checks or balances limiting his authority."
I just realized what is happening here. He doesn't want to share and is running away. She is looking at the candy cane. This is the moment she grabs his hand and finna trip him with her foot and twist his arm behind his back. When sister Jill's done with him he's going to need more than cinnamon and brown paper. 🤕
I always assumed it was intentional when they updated the board - maybe like an Easter egg. Maybe it was a mistake at first but kids liked the weirdness? The board has changed a few times. It was the lowest priced board game, like $2-3 in 1990
nah, just late "artistical" input and an artist who didnt give a fuck by that point...like, two kids, strutting happily into some direction...you wanna draw them side-by-side so they are walking together and not one following the other, but from the given perspective that would make one cover the other, so the one closer to the viewer has to trail slightly...then they are kids and not soldiers, so you have to make their steps not match...and because they are like almost running you have to >
> really emphasize the arm movements...and then someone came along like "can you add more 'harmony'? like have them hold hands?" and then the artist looked at the arms and the torsos and thought about anatomy and how the shoulders would have to be drawn and everything and was like "fuck that"...because to draw that scene correctly while still keeping all the other points i meantioned is quite difficult actually...<<<
It wasn't clearly a joke, there are many children that may use this app and wouldn't know. I saw someone mention that their kid thought a picture on the wall was a FaceTime with their grandmother.
No, just an artist who either wasnt paid enough for the workload involved; which can result in some AI-like output sometimes as they tend to say "fuck it then, I ain't trying"
See that one could be an underpaid artist or it could be the result of the owner doing it themselves and lacking the knowledge to either edit a picture of peas to fit that side of the plate or find a picture that was already the right way up for that side of the plate.
You can tell it's made by Americans because more than half of him is "red licorice". It's still better than what a licorice cartoon character tended to be in Europe at the time. It was usually a racist mockery of a black African made from licorice candy pieces.

The best way to play Candy Land is by watching someone suffer while playing it. https://youtu.be/hkUYGT-S5R8

Candy land is bullshit. It is just taking turns picking up cards until one person wins. There is literally no agency in the game.

Don't fucking judge him. He's doing his best.

Y'all I know this isn't AI, that was a joke. Probably should have gone with "Looks like an AI drawing" or at least a '/s' lol

It was clearly a joke, some people just look for any opportunity to “correct” someone

So they have the intelligence of a child? Kids shouldn’t be on this app anyways

Or? You used either but only listed one option.

He got to the end of the clause and said "Fuck it, I ain't trying."

Either way, paying an actual professional would have prevented the problem.

Either/Or. It's still crazy to see.

No, adapted from an Indian game, brought to England and then America.
