The Candy Bar Game



At home we always played this game for family night, group gatherings, kid's parties, etc. It's cheap, it's fun, and it involves candy! What's not to like!

Here's how you play:

Everyone in the game has two candy bars in their paper lunch bag. In the middle you need 2-3 extra candy bars for the "bowl". You'll need a dice and and your set to go! Set the clock for however long you'd like to play- cuz when the timer goes off whatever is in YOUR bag you get to KEEP! (Usually 15-30 minutes)

Roll the die; if you get a...

1- take bowl (whatever is in the center- you take all of it and put it in your bag)
2- Guess (ask someone for a candy bar, if that person has it in their bag they take it out and give it to you to put in your bag)
3- Trade Bag (Trade with anyone in the circle)
4- Double Take (the person on your right and left have to give you one of their candybars)
5- lose a turn
6- add a bar (Take one from your bag to replenish the bowl in the middle)

This game is so fun with a large group! Especially as you get down to the last 2-3 minutes, then it's a mad house with the dice and getting it around the circle.
Today we had Brian, Ben, Devon, and Sterling come over and play! It was very fun and we had a good stash of candy that everyone brought. :)Afterwards we ate halloween cake then ran to the lobby just in time to watch THE OFFICE! Tommorrow shall continue to be fun sugar-high night!
