 For the Girly at HeartOct 15, 2009
By J. Plummer
My daughters love the Disney Princesses, much to my chagrin, and I knew that this game would be an instant hit with my "girly" girls.
The game hasn't changed much since my little sister received it for one of her adolescent birthdays (she's 23 now) except that since this version is a Princess version, you don't get the black ring as a setback, but get a cardboard playing piece Maleficent instead.
There are 4 girly coloured playing pieces to choose from (all Sleeping Beauty, no other Princess choices) blue, yellow, pink, and purple. Each person chooses a colour and there is corresponding jewelry to match that colour: one necklace, one bracelet, a pair of dangly earrings, and a ring. My only problem with the jewelry I received in my game is that one of the earrings from two colours (one purple earring and one blue earring) does not close remotely tight enough to hang on an earlobe (thought none of the jewelry is supposed to fit tight anyway). This really takes away from the fun of the game as we cannot wear those pieces. The point of the game is to spin a spinner and go around the board and land on spaces to collect all your corresponding jewelry AND the Princess crown while NOT in possession of Maleficent.
The crown is more fun than the old version because this game comes with a sheet of old school stick on earrings that you can decorate the crown with and make as fancy as you want. Or you can just keep the stickers and use them as we would have in the '80s- worn them on our ears.
The gameboard itself is very simple. It's 4 cardboard pieces in the 4 colours that lock in a diamond shape, but unfortunately these pieces lock together and are not interchangeable so if you are playing with a PINK lover and a PURPLE lover, they have to move to that spot of the board to begin with. In the middle of the diamond shape is a space reserved for a small pink container that holds all the jewelry, playing pieces, and uses the lid as the spinner very smartly. The spinner is numbered one to four, so this game may be a challenge to those younger ones who cannot identify numbers by sight, but this game taught my 3.5 those numbers.
While not my style, per se, my daughters (3.5 and 2) love this game. It will teach them how to take turns, identify colours (and basic jewelry terms), counting, and number recognition. It even teaches fine motor skills (putting a bracelet on, etc). As long as the quality of the jewelry you receive is good, this is a great game for the girly girl in all of us.
I also love watching Dad play this game with the girls as well (bring a camera)!

 Absolutely precious game for your little Princess!Jun 23, 2009
By M. Stenner
This game is great! I bought it for my 3.5 year old daughter but find myself asking HER to play it with ME :) It's really fun to collect the pieces and get all dressed up in the jewelry!
The game board is a 4-pc 'puzzle', so it doesn't stay together real well on carpet, but game play isn't affected. There's an adorable, hard plastic case for storing the jewelry after game play, which converts to the "pot" and also the game spinner for during game play.
The jewelry is your typical dress-up jewelry, including necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and then a crown. I've had no problems at all with quality on any of it, and that's with a now 4 year old and a wild 10 year old playing the game (and me, hehe)! We've had the game for about 5-6 months now and it still looks brand new.
We LOVE this game! Although it doesn't have MUCH educational value to it (color recognition, patience, numbers/counting spaces), sometimes it's great to just feel pretty :) It's definitely more educational for a younger girl who's still currently learning her colors, numbers, etc

Love the game.Mar 11, 2009

This is my new favorite game to give for gifts for birthdays, etc for little girls. My daughter, age 4, received it for Christmas and we love to play it...even Daddy wears the earrings and plays with us. It's a great game that not many people seem to have yet and definitely a winner with all the "princesses" out there.

I got this for my daughter's 4th birthday. She had played the originial "pretty pretty princess game" but I think it became a collectors item and became very costly, so I read previous reviews and decided to get this one. She loves it and we play all the time. My suggestion, go with the sleeping beauty version, it is a lot cheaper than the orignal and one minor detail is the only difference(black witch instead of black ring). Any little girl that likes to dress up and play board games will love this game!!!
