Description

Get ready for a sweet treat with 16 Candies, a fast-paced card game designed by Dickie Chapin and published in 2024. This game is perfect for a fun night in with family and friends, and can be enjoyed by 2 to 4 players. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be diving into the action in no time. The goal is to form the best hand possible with your three cards, which feature different types of candy, and outdo your opponents to be the last one standing with candy left in your supply. In each round, players draw and discard cards, trying to optimize their hand, and when someone thinks they've got the best combination, they shout "I GOT CANDY!" - giving their opponents one final chance to improve their hand. The player with the worst hand then has to remove a penalty amount of candy from their starting supply of 16 candies. The game is over when only one player has candy left, and that player is declared the winner. With playtime lasting between 15 to 30 minutes, 16 Candies is a quick and exciting game that's sure to bring a smile to your face, making it a great addition to any game night.
