Re: Finding Media You Thought Was 'Lost'

[(Anonymous)]

This is reminding me of a time when I went looking for the art of Candyland, and come to find out that there have been so many redesigns that it took going to the fandom wiki for the game (which I had no idea existed) to narrow it down to the one I was picturing in my head. I liked the art better as a kid, but it didn't really disappoint.

But everything else about the experience was more suprising than I would have guessed. I had no idea that it was originally designed by a schoolteacher who was recovering from some illness in a hospital, in the middle of an epidemic of childhood polio, and drew a simple boardgame intended to entertain children who had low energy levels, many of whom were too young to know how to read. Hit me right in the feels, though, when I realized 1) that the original boy and girl were wearing leg braces, and 2) the end of the path when people won the game back then was just getting to go "home" - from the hospital.

I found that wiki you were talking about. The cultural evolution of the game is very interesting! (I don't think I played it as a kid-- or if I did, I'm too old to remember now!)
