Although she hasn't seen all of the princess movies, my daughter knows enough about their stories to correctly guess the princess from the picture on the card the majority of the time. The "Secret Princess" cards where one player pretends to be the princess and other players have to guess are a little harder for her if it is one of the princesses she is less familiar with.
The cards are a bit smaller than I would have thought they would be for the age range on the game but the girls still do pretty well with them. The jewels are also quite little and require good fine motor skills to place them into the plastic jewelry. I generally end up taking them out when the game is finished because I don't want the jewelry to be bent or broken when removing them. I can also see the jewels being lost in our carpet quite easily!
Using the large red heart jewel to reveal the princess answer on the back of the card is kind of fun and prevents kids from accidentally showing the answer to each other or seeing it when the cards get placed back in the box all mixed up. You just need to be sure you are playing the game in an area with good light or it is too hard to see the picture.
My daughter's best friend is a bit younger and she lost interest in the game much more quickly. I was actually surprised at how well they did taking turns because I was afraid they would randomly be shouting out the princess names regardless of whose turn it was supposed to be.
Although I can see my daughter losing interest in using the cards at some point (she is going through them very quickly and knows the majority of the answers already) right now the excitement is in collecting the jewels for her tiara, bracelet, and ring. If nothing else these can be added to her collection of dress up items and in a couple years we can teach little sister to play.
