Subject: What was the name of this board game?

Written By: Mergal on 12/28/04 at 8:28 pm

Did anybody else have this?

The rules seemed pretty straight forward---players would move along these curving paths to try to be the first one to get to the end but the obstacles were missing turns, falling back a few spots, or having additional moves. I think I liked missing a turn because I think that allowed me to scratch one of the three flowers. One flower was lemon, the other cherry, and the third might have had a fruit-punch scent to it. I don't remember the game markers that were used---they might have been doll-like figurines. And I think a spinner was used instead of dice.

I am positive this was NOT the well-known game, Candy Land. If none of you don't have the slightest idea what I'm talking about, it might just be a no-name game that I had.

Certainly it is not Twister!

Was it the Strawberry Shortcake board game? That's the only one I can think of where the game pieces might have smelled like fruit. I could be wrong though, if I am let me know. I never played the Strawberry Shortcake game but I think my sisters did.  ???  ::).
