What's this?
Players take on the role of various fairy tale princesses who are attending a five-day party. The goal is to avoid marriage proposals from the Princes who are trying to infiltrate the party. The princess who remains single with the fewest marriage proposals (the fewest prince cards) at the end of the game wins.
How do you play?
Princess Selection: Each player chooses a Princess card, which grants access to unique powers for the entire game.
The game consists of five rounds, each with a unique effect determined by the round cards. The basic flow includes:
➡️ Flip the current round card and read its effect. The effect of the card will change the rules of the game for the current round.
➡️ Players draft a specific number of cards as indicated by the round card.
➡️ The game begins with a trick, where each player takes turns playing a card according to the starting suit.
The strongest card of the suit played first wins the trick. If a player cannot follow through, they may play a card of another suit (discard).
Each princess has a unique ability that can be used once per turn.
Is it good?
Rebelles Princesses offers an explosive cocktail that skillfully combines the mechanics of trick-taking, drafting and party games. In each round, a special effect shakes up the rules, forcing players to constantly adapt. The unique powers of each princess add an extra layer of strategy.
This explosive mix can make games as chaotic as they are fun, typical of party games. Although the game can serve as an introduction to trick-taking games, the multitude of effects and powers to remember can destabilize beginners. Replayability is ensured thanks to the variety of rounds and possible combinations.
In summary, Rebelles Princesses is an excellent choice to liven up your evenings with friends or family. Its fast pace and unpredictable nature make it an ideal game for those who like dynamic games full of surprises.
