Candy Land was created by Eleanor Abbott while she was recovering from polio, inspired by the children around her who were isolated in iron lungs and longing for escape. What began as a simple board game became a powerful symbol of hope and healing for young patients: "She didn't just invent a game, she alleviated children's suffering." https://www.cbsnews.com/video/candy-land-the-game-that-still-hits-a-sweet-spot/ | CBS Sunday Morning
