Disney Sofia

Komm mit zum Schloss!

 

In the story line of this computer-animated TV series, the girl Sophia, a commoner, suddenly turns into Royalty when her mother gets married to King Roland II. The Good Fairies Flora, Fauna and Sunshine, well-known and beloved from Sleeping Beauty, teach Sofia all the virtues of a princess, and those virtues also play a major part in the series episodes. Other Disney princesses, too, come to Sofia’s aid when she needs help in learning how to be a true princess. In this Roll & Move game, Princess Sofia is on her way to the Royal Castle. She is wearing the magical amulet of Avalor, which usually helps her to get homer quicker, but can also sometimes send her back. Each player has his own Sofia marker and puts his marker at the start of the track featuring spots in six different colors; amulet tiles are shuffled and stacked face-down. In your turn you roll the color die and move your Sofia marker to the next spot of the resulting color. If there is already a Sofia marker occupying this spot, you send this Sofia back to the start. If you roll the amulet symbol, you turn over the top amulet tile. The amulet tiles show friends of Sofia and you search for the friend depicted on the tile that you just turned over and move your Sofia marker to this friend. If you are unlucky, you must retract your steps on the path. Whoever reaches the green case at the castle first, wins the game.

This game provides a simple roll & move game using a color die in a Fairy Tale setting, very well suited to the intended target group. You do not only move Sofia, but encounter many other Disney friends on your way to the castle.
