The Princess‘ Ball

A bride for Prince Goldlocke

(Deutscher Titel Ball der Prinzessin)

Prince Goldlocke is looking for his real bride among six princesses. The ballroom is put together and is given a mirror for a dance floor. The princesses in their lovely pink overdresses are placed on the holes of the board, the entry to the ball room is left empty. The candle tiles are laid out and the prince is waiting on the blue carpet. You roll the dice and must find the princess wearing this dress. You choose a princess and place the prince in front of her. Then you place the princess on the dance floor and spin her slowly. This causes her overdress to lift and you can see the dress of the princess in the mirror – the more slowly she turns the better you can see it. If the dress shows the pattern determined by the die you receive a crown marker. If the prince has asked the wrong princess to dance you must turn over one of the candle tiles. In any case you must place the princess onto the spot where the prince does not stand. If you spin the princess too fast or somehow wrong so that she tumbles, your turn ends and nothing else happens.

When the last candle is turned over, the player with the most crowns wins the game. If before that a player wins his fourth crown, this player immediately wins the game. For an easier version of the game you can put back the princess on her former place or you might want to play a cooperative version where all players together must win 10 crown markers to win the game.  

I think this is the prettiest and most enchanting version of a memory game that I ever have encountered, simply beautiful! And on top of that a very good training for hand-eye-coordination.
