I don’t think y’all got it. They’re not playing Candyland. They’re playing Snakes and Ladders (or the modern variant, Chutes and Ladders), a game designed to teach spiritual and moral values. When the player makes a “bad” choice, they slide down the serpent and have to start over. When they make a “good” choice they climb up toward Heaven. Never was one of my favorites.
