Snow White, Cinderella, the Little Mermaid, and other independent princesses are hosting an exclusive five-day ball, but every Prince Charming in the kingdom is determined to crash the party and propose. The primary gameplay objective centers on trick-taking evasion and point minimization: over five thematic rounds (representing the five days of the party), players must follow suit and try to avoid winning tricks that contain Prince cards (each worth 1 unwanted proposal) or the dreaded Enchanted Frog Prince (worth a staggering 5 proposals). The player who collects the fewest marriage proposals at the end of the celebration wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary mechanical hurdle stems from navigating asymmetric princess powers, shifting global round laws, and the high-risk \"Rebel of the Ball\" catch-up rule. Each player commands a distinct fairytale princess with a once-per-round special ability that fundamentally breaks the basic rules of trick-taking—such as playing out of turn, changing suits mid-trick, or nullifying incoming points. Meanwhile, each round introduces a new Tarot-sized Round card dictating how many cards must be passed to neighbors and imposing a chaotic rule twist (such as zero-value trumps, reversed card hierarchies, or penalty multipliers). Like \"shooting the moon\" in traditional card play, pulling off a daring clean sweep—or falling far behind—activates special catch-up mechanisms that can flip the table dynamic on its head. Designed for 3 to 6 players aged 8 and up (officially 15+ on the Bézier box layout), a complete five-round match wraps up in 30 to 45 minutes. To remain happily single, you must read the trick progression, deploy your princess power at the pivotal moment, and dump every eager prince onto your rivals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame Specs at a Glance:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAge Range: 8+ Years\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bezier GAmes\u003cbr\u003ePlay Time: 30-45 Minutes\u003cbr\u003ePlayer Count: 3-6 Players\u003cbr\u003eComplexity: Light-Medium (Trick-Taking, Trick Evasion, Variable Player Powers, Card Passing, Event Round Modifiers)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber Playing Card Deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick Punchboard Princess Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarot-Sized Round Event Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Rebel of the Ball\" \/ Catch-Up Marker Components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScorepad and Pencil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Rulebook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gnome Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53033492513055,"sku":"BEZ RPDX","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/9080\/5791\/files\/rebel-princess-deluxe-edition-game-box-front-display.jpg?v=1792002231","url":"https:\/\/gnomegames.com\/products\/rebel-princess-deluxe-edition","provider":"Gnome Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
