 In both versions of the game you are using the little circular 2-sided board, you are sharing the princess mover, and are passing the die from player to player.  The instructions give rules for both a cooperative game and a competitive game, and they include a short version of the Princess and the Pea if you or your children don’t know it. I played Sleepy Princess Pile Up with a 3-year-old little gamer and from the minute I opened the box she was super excited to play with all of the little mattresses, pillows, and comforters.  (I have to like it to review it and I really do!) How to Play  Granted, they made it into the sweetest little pre-school game a few years ago and are re-releasing it now with a slightly updated look, but it is still just as cute and I was lucky enough to be sent a copy to review. The pea was put into the museum, where it may still be seen to this day, if no one has stolen it or eaten it.Remember the story of the Princess and the Pea?  Where if the girl is a REAL princess she’ll notice that there’s a pea hidden below a whole bunch of mattresses and won’t be able to sleep?  HABA made it into the sweetest little pre-school game and called it Sleepy Princess Pile Up. So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess. Nobody but a real princess could have felt it. Now they knew that she was a real princess, because she had felt the pea right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty feather beds. Heaven only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something hard, so that I am black and blue all over my body. In the morning she was asked how she had slept. On this the princess had to lie all night. Then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty feather beds on top of the mattresses.
But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a pea on the bottom. “Well, we’ll soon find that out,” thought the old queen.
And yet she said that she was a real princess. It ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels. The water ran down from her hair and clothes. But, good gracious, what a sight the rain and the wind had made her look. It was a princess standing out there in front of the gate. Suddenly a knock was heard at the city gate, and the old king went to open it. There was thunder and lightning and the rain poured down. So he came home again and was very sad, for he wanted very much to have a real princess. There was always something about them that was not quite right. There were princesses out there alright, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones or not. He travelled all over the world to find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess, but she had to be a real princess.
