My two little girls, aged 4 and 7 played this game for hours. I checked it out and ended up playing for a long time too. It is a game of luck and the player in the lead can change at any time, giving all of the children the chance to feel like they’re winning. Teaches good counting skills with the beds too. The game does not take long to play which keeps their attention level high. highly recommended!

I heard this was just awarded the Oppenheimer Gold Award so I knew it would be great for my granddaughter. I bought it and she just loves it. I can see why it’s rated so high. Lots of bright colors to stimulate her brain, and easy to learn and play. I’ve recommended it to friends but wish it was available in the large chain stores so more of my friends could get one.
It’s a sure winner with us!

My five and eight year old girls love this game. It’s one of the few they will play together, without an adult joining them. Although it’s not truly educational, it’s fun… and they love the competition to see which princess stacks up the most beds! Good for beginning readers, too.

I disagree with the previous reviewer regarding this toys educational value. It teaches counting skills and is very good for the beginner reader. Also, the spinner helps with number recognition for the little ones.My kids have fun playing this game. It goes by quickly and is easy for them to play without help. They are age 6 and 4. My two year old loves to stack the beds together.

This game is a cute boardgame geared towards preschool age and early elementary school aged princesses. Boys need not play. They definitely won’t want too with the Princess movers, princess references (the game really feeds into the princess craze!), and bright pink box. The game includes a game board, thick cardboard matresses (the real user pictures appear to have plastic beds, but this is not the case), 4 cardboard princess movers with little stands, and a spinner. Assembly is minimal. The object of the game is to get the most mattresses and become the true princess. The game requires some reading. My 5 year old reads, but my 3.5 year old does not. Both can play though with the reader helping the 3.5 year old. The concept is actually pretty simple, so children younger than the 5+ can play with reading assistance. The game is quick too, which is good for short attention spans.
The main flaw is the movers. They are one sided. All of the stands are purple and all of the backs are hot pink. In order to easily keep track of which mover is which, the movers must face the “wrong way,” looking away from the goal rather than towards it. The movers should be double sided or the bases should be color coordinated with the movers to make it easier to locate the correct movers.
