Game Review - Disney Princess Enchanted Cupcake Party Game

About the Game
You’re invited to a cupcake party with all your favorite Disney Princesses! Work together to make as many cupcakes as you can before it’s time for the party. Follow the recipe cards to pick the perfect fancy liner, frosting, and topper. Each cupcake creation is fit for a princess in this sweet game of mixing and matching!

Creative, social play at its best!
Standard play-dates are transformed into exciting parties filled with laughter and conversation, as players practice teamwork and cooperation to build as many cupcakes as they can before the time runs out. In this innovative game, each cupcake is uniquely designed to match one of the Disney Princesses, but there are lots of opportunities to get creative! Use the interchangeable cupcake pieces to make your own original cupcake creation- there are dozens of dazzling cupcake combinations.

How to play, snapshot!
As a team, players decide which color deck they will play. Each deck offers a variety of cupcake combinations. The pink deck has recipes for single princess cupcakes. The blue and purple decks have recipes that combine cupcakes featuring two or more princesses. When players flip all three of the Mix, Bake, and Decorate tiles, it's time to draw a Recipe Card and work together to build the cupcake. Players continue to draw cards and build as many cupcakes as they can before the sand timer runs out. Players build cupcakes until all four Clock tiles are flipped over. Then, it's time for the party!

My Take on the Game
Especially in a house of Divas, what is better than cupcakes and princesses? My youngest daughter just loves this game and we have played it over and over again the many times since we received it. The idea of the game is to build your cupcakes as a team. Yes, I said team, thus it is not a competitive game, but one where you work together toward a common goal. I love when I can find these games where at the end we all are winners (as we have no sad faces at the end then). Overall, the game was a ton of fun and my girls had a blast playing it (both my 4 and 8 year olds). The game is of high quality and the cupcakes are very well made and I can tell will stand up to a lot which will allow the game to stay with us for a long time to come!
