Here comes a candle to light you to bed,
And here comes a chopper to chop off your head!
Chip chop chip chop the last man is dead

Here Comes a Candle is an expansion to the game, Oranges and Lemons which requires the base game to play. There are three separate elements: 

  1. A One Player expansion which is a solo-play version based around the six careers in the base game. 
  2. ‘Here Comes a Candle’ – an addition to the multi-player game which introduces events which impact gameplay but have variable durations. 
  3. ‘Here Comes a Chopper’ – a further addition to the multi-player game which incorporates objectives to achieve before a deadline.
