At PAX West, from a distance, I saw a cat, a rainbow and princesses which is basically the same as my name in blinking lights. As I got closer, I saw Princess Princess who is an adorable, little girl hugging (or what my husband calls, torturing) her cat. She is my spirit animal. I was devastated when another player had already chosen her. Although broken hearted, I continued the demo with another princess, Princess Punch, who looked very strong.
The game itself was fairly simple. You have a tower (duh you're a princess) and the objective is to remove the cards under your tower to climb up it. To do so, you take turns matching your cards based on color and symbols with the 2 piles on the table while saying the spells they make out loud like "monkey vortex". Once you empty your hand, you pick up one of the cards from your tower and draw another hand. Another way to take a card off your tower is to have a duplicate card that is in play on the table. Even when it's not your turn, you can put it down and say "double (card name)". From there, there's a few ways to sabotage other players with black magic by adding cards to their towers however black magic comes with a price. Overall, it's a fun game for all ages. I plan on playing with a bunch of adults. Only disappointment was finding out it wasn't in stores or in stock. They said to come back at 2, I came back at 1:45 and 2:15. Out. They said more stock the next day. Nope. Out again. Now I have to painfully wait until October.
