An exciting fantasy game giving thoughtful and imaginative play experience. Our princess is a sturdy little girl in the Castle who needs to be rescued from a Mean Guard and Fierce Dog. It's not going to be easy — and besides, Darkness is coming!

Off we go through Fields, Woods, Mountains and Villages in search of Things Magical and Practical needed to free the Princess. We'll do some sharing, help each other to remember where Special Things are hidden, and together think our way past the Obstacles.

Includes: 12 x 12" board, die, movers, night cards, good grief cards, special things. © 1986

Kate Wilde's comments:

Do NOT be fooled, it may have a "girlie" name but boys love this game too, as it is about saving a princess from a castle. This is for children who can speak in 5 word sentences or more, and is great to encourage spontaneous language. Spontaneous language can be difficult for some children on the spectrum, so any game that encourage this versus "rote" language is very important. It is also a collabortive game so there is no winner. We all do this together, thus helping children who "have to" win, relax and enjoy the process of playing a game versus winning the game.
