Game

Title text: Some of the kids in my family once invented a version where you had to get one of each color in order to get through the final step, mathematically guaranteeing the game could never end. The didn't mind at all. I feel like there's a lesson here that I am too old to understand.

Explanation

This explanation is either missing or incomplete.

Candyland is a racing board game for Ages 3 and up. The only element of randomization is a deck of color coded cards, that is shuffled during game setup. There is no element of strategy to the game, as players take turns to draw a card and then execute the indicated move. Since the deck is not reshuffled during a game, the outcome and winner is predetermined before the first move, even if the players themselves don't know it yet.

The comic equates a humans life with this game.

The title text has a type, and the second sentence was presumably meant to be "They didn't mind at all."
