Advantages: Simple to play, not too short or long

Disadvantages: Girls will probably prefer this just owing to the subject

Direct experience with this product having bought it for one small princess who dearly loves Cinderella.

The board is circular and annotated in accordance with most board games. There are 4 Cinderellas - one for each player - they are colour coded at the skirt hem by blue, yellow, red, green, for me the blue and the green were easily confused - but this could be just my eyes.

The cushion with the magic slipper sits in the middle of the board. There are also cards depicting, Cinderella, the Carriage, the Horses, etc (there are 5 in total) - the cards on one side depict pre-transformation, the other side post Fairy Godmother transformation.

The idea is as you progress round the board you land on the appropriate squares that enable you to collect the pre-transformation cards, by landing on the fairy godmother cards this enables you to press the glass slipper - if it sparkles and lights up then you can turn your card over and transform them ready for the ball, if the shoes makes the sound of the clock striking 12 then you cannot turn your card.

Play continues until the first person obtains five cards and is able to transform them all ready for the ball.

Very playable and it isn't over quickly - but not too long, so it enables play to be established without children becoming disinterested.

Summary: A delightful game for any aspiring princess
