I
love America. Have been there many times, to many parts, but always
feel more at home in California. Whatever my intended destination was, I
always made a point of at least stopping over in there, near San
Francisco, even if just for a few days.
I was there just 4 years ago, to see the very unique and world famous Lombard street (the crooked street) converted into the biggest Candyland in the world. It was to celebrate the 60th birthday of this popular table game. The street was painted in many enormous rectangles of colours, so that all the children can participate in the game in it's gigantic version.
Candyland is apparently more than a game in America. It's a cultural icon. The popularity of the game is due to it's simplicity, that doesn't even require the player knowing how to read, enough just to know how to count a few numbers.
Like most games, what's required more than anything else is imagination.
