What Is the "Smartie Game"? (And What You Might Actually Mean)

There is no widely recognized commercial or traditional game officially named the "Smartie Game." The term likely refers to one of the following:

Common Confusions

• Candy-Based Party Games: Many DIY games use Smarties (or M&Ms/Skittles) as pieces—e.g., "Smartie Stack" (stack candies on a popsicle stick in mouth), sorting races, or betting games.
• Children's Math Games: Teachers/parents use Smarties for counting, graphing colors, fractions, or probability lessons.
• Misremembered Titles: Could be a mix-up with:
  • Candy Land (board game with candy theme)
  • Smart Games (brand of logic puzzles like IQ Fit)
  • Smarty Party (trivia game)
  • Smarty Pants (trivia/card game)
• Regional/Family Tradition: A homemade game passed down locally.

How to Identify It

If you recall more details, I can pinpoint it:

• What are the components? (Just Smarties? Dice? Board? Cards?)
• What is the goal? (Eat them? Sort them? Reach a finish line? Answer questions?)
• How many players and what age?
• Where did you learn it? (School, party, camp, family, online?)

With a bit more info, I can tell you if it's a known variant, a classroom activity, or a unique family gem—and give you the rules!
