Pretty Pretty Princess is a turn-based board game. Gameplay initiates with each participant spinning the spinner; the player with the highest spin starts the game. As players take turns spinning, they advance on the board, aiming to collect a complete set of jewelry in their chosen color by landing on the corresponding spaces. The objective is to amass a full set of jewelry, excluding the black ring. Holding the black ring when the game concludes results in a loss.[2]
