Best Candy on the Block: Rewrapped is a revised edition, with an updated deck and rule set, of Best Candy on the Block. It uses ranked cards with multiple candy themed suits like chocolate and marshmallow depicting different treats that you may receive while trick-or-treating. Each hand, players choose a favorite flavor from 3 cards dealt from a separate flavor deck. Each trick you win, and each card you take that matches your favorite flavor gives you 1 point. However, each hand, the player who won the most tricks does not earn points for tricks they took because of a tummy ache, they still earn points from cards they took with their favorite flavor. Additionally there are Prank cards that can be played instead of treats. Pranks are worth -1 point at the end of the trick to the person that took them, and a trick with a prank rotates the leader of the next trick to the right of the winner. There are also Non-Candy cards which can be used to avoid winning a trick and King cards which have powers that can change how the trick they are played to works. The game ends when one player has reached at least 31 points. The player with the most points, wins.
