“It may look like just a game for girls, but boys also love it because they can watch other male family members like their dads, dress up as pretty princesses. It is not necessarily as educational as other games, but it is a lot of fun."

“Pretty Pretty Princess is a children's game aimed at young girls and teaches just the very basics of waiting for your turn, counting spaces, matching, set completion and sharing while indulging in a game of dress-up.” One of the main reasons behind this game is probably to expand the gaming world of action and shooting games for boys and make more games for young girls. It was also looked at by Dr Margaret Shotton, a psychologist, that girls are not as into video games as boys are, they would probably rather play more hands-on games, which is why Pretty Pretty Princess is perfect."

The good thing about the game is that no supervision is needed because children can set the game up by themselves for the most part and do not need much help during it. Another good thing is the game attracts dads and boys with the masculine colored pieces of blue or green. One issue with the game is the more manly colored piece, usually green or blue, makes a disadvantage for everyone else playing because they begin with the black ring at their home.

Little girls like to play games they understand easily, which is why this is a game they like because they can do it by themselves and can enjoy it. It is also not just a “girly” game that represents girls poorly. The fact that boys also play this game is a good example about that. It is a good way to learn to take turns, learn how to deal with losing things, such as when someone steals your crown, and also is a fun, simple game for all ages.

Pros

Easily understood and easy to learn It is not necessary to have reading skills A good start for new board game players No batteries Is actually great for the whole family (boys included) Allows young children to use imagination Supervision is not necessary Males can enjoy it too, especially with the masculine color pieces Teaches basic counting and game playing skills

Cons

It does not teach any educational skills Some believe there is an advantage with the more masculine pieces in the game Can be seen as a stereotype for young girls
