Are classic games like Candy Land and Sorry! still worth buying?

Specialist board game communities are split. On r/boardgames, hobbyist reviewers frequently call Candy Land 'all luck, no decisions,' while parents in the same threads counter that it's specifically designed to teach turn-taking and color recognition to three-year-olds. Sorry! gets more universal credit for adding light decision-making with the card draws. Both remain top-sellers with tens of thousands of verified reviews.
