Pretty Pretty Princess

Race Games

Pretty Pretty Princess is a children's board game with a fantasy dress-up theme. It was created in 1989 by Elizabeth Pacza, a designer at the Chicago firm Meyer/Glass Design, and licensed to Western Publishing Group, which released it in 1990. Hasbro acquired the property in 1994 when it bought Western's games unit, and marketed it under the Milton Bradley name until 2009. Two to four players each choose a colour, blue, pink, green or purple, and take turns spinning a spinner and moving around the board. The spaces tell a player to take a particular piece of jewellery, take any piece, or give one up. The goal is to collect the jewellery in your own colour. To win, a player must also hold the crown and must not be holding the black ring, which can be passed on or discarded. Special editions have included Disney versions such as Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella, and a new edition appeared in 2020.
