In the decades since Abbott created her original version the game has been rereleased and updated many times, including spin-offs and promotional tie-ins with other works. Hasbro would later buy Milton Bradley in 1984 and revamp the game to include a storyline and characters, titled The Legend of the Lost Candy Castle. Milton Bradley produced a commercial version in 1949 which became a huge surprise hit. The original version of the game was designed in 1948 by Eleanor Abbott, a school teacher seeking to amuse children in her polio ward. It began as a board game but the premise has been expanded into books, cartoons, merchandise, a reality cooking competition, and video games. ![]() ![]() Candy Land is an internationally popular multi-media franchise. ![]()
