キャンディポット (Candypot) is a shedding game from japan. Players are dealt two lollipops they must dispose of by either giving them to the candy boy in the centre, or to other players.
Each player begins their round with four cards, each with a different action, that they must choose in secret then show to each other simultaneously. The first two cards allow players to pass a lolly to another player or to the candy boy in the middle of the table, but only if they are the only one doing that action, so if two players both try to pass a lolly to a third player, they deny each other and keep their lollys. The third card blocks attempts to give you a lolly that round, and the final retrieves one card to be played again on a future round, neither of these are affected by other players choosing the same action.
When all players empty their hands, players collect their used cards and continue.
When a player empties their supply of lollipops, they win! The game ends when only one loser remains.
The game is puplished in a small jam jar.
