Plus the artwork is beautiful. Great for a yearly Princess Bride afternoon 4 out of 5 stars. Jaq - 11 months ago , Verified purchaser. This game is fun if you like the movie and don't mind some old school luck and light strategy. The theme is carried thoroughly in a bordering-silly-but-just-right kind of way. Vibe wise, think old-school giant Disney flip games, but slightly more sophisticated: it's mostly clacking along while the game tells you the story of the movie you just watched, combined with some grumping at the interruption deck.
Don't go into this game to chew. Go in to embrace the silliness and characters. Component quality: Minis are a bit floppy but decently detailed. We've only played once, so I can't say to the longevity of the spine yet. The cards shuffle smoothly and the tokens are thick enough to be serviceable.
I have beef with the box. Rather than bother with a well-designed insert, Ravensburger shoved everything to one half of the box and left the other half empty, with things vaguely kept in place with a paper thin bit of cardboard. Fun to play, nice components, lots of nostalgia, limited replay value 4 out of 5 stars.
DonnaMia - 11 months ago. We are both big time board gamers as well as fans of the Princess Bride. There have been a few different Princess Bride themed games over the years, and this one is probably the best at capturing the sense of nostalgia and general feel of the movie. If you've never played a storybook style game before, then the rules will take some time to wrap your head around.
But once you understand them, it's actually super easy to play. The basic idea is that you will have different "goals" that you will try to accomplish on each page, in order to make the story progress. If you've ever played games like "Stuffed Fables" or "Mice and Mystics", this process will seem very, very familiar to you. The components to this game are beautiful and generally well crafted. The cards are a bit flimsy, but otherwise everything is great.
We found the gameplay itself to be just enough of a challenge, and fun. It's not a perfect simulation of the actual activities in the movie, but it is still enjoyable.
We had a lot of fun reading all the quotes in the different voices, and listening to the movie soundtrack while playing. The only downside of this game is that for the money, there is very little replay value. Basically, once you've played through the story once While the figures and storybook are nice, they're not worth keeping the whole game for. So, plan on donating this to a friend after use, or re-selling it.

At the end. Somebody's got to do it. Grandpa : Nobody. Nobody kills him. He lives. The Grandson : Jesus, Grandpa! What did you read me this thing for? Grandpa : You know, you've been very sick and you're taking this story very seriously. I think we better stop now. The Grandson : No, I'm okay. I'm okay. Sit down. I'm all right. Inigo Montoya : He's right on top of us. I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using.
Prince Humperdinck : She is alive, or was an hour ago. If she is otherwise when I find her I shall be very put out. Buttercup : Westley. Oh, Westley darling! Buttercup : Westley, why won't you hold me? Buttercup : At a time like this, that's all you can think to say. Inigo Montoya : [ drunk ] I am waiting for you, Vizzini! You told me to go back to the beginning Inigo Montoya : This is where I am, this is where I'll stay.
I will not be moved! Count Rugen : Beautiful isn't it? It took me half a lifetime to invent it. I'm sure you've discovered my deep and abiding interest in pain.
Presently I'm writing the definitive work on the subject, so I want you to be totally honest with me on how the machine makes you feel. This being our first try, I'll use the lowest setting. Count Rugen : As you know, the concept of the suction pump is centuries old. Really that's all this is except that instead of sucking water, I'm sucking life. I've just sucked one year of your life away.
I might one day go as high as five, but I really don't know what that would do to you. So, let's just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity so be honest. How do you feel? Man in Black : [ issues a whimpering moan ]. Fezzik : You just shook your head Westley : My brains, his steel, and your strength against sixty men, and you think a little head-jiggle is supposed to make me happy?
The Albino : [ raspy voice ] The Pit of Despair! Don't even think The Albino The chains are far too thick. Don't dream of being rescued, either; the only way in is secret. Only the Prince, the Count, and I know how to get in and out. The Albino : Until they kill you, yeah. Westley : Then why bother curing me? The Albino : Well, the Prince and Count always insist on everyone being healthy before they're broken.
The Albino : [ nods enthusiastically ]. Westley : I can cope with torture. The Albino : [ shakes head enthusiastically ]. Prince Humperdinck : You truly love each other and so you might have been truly happy. Not one couple in a century has that chance, no matter what the story books say. And so I think no man in a century will suffer as greatly as you will. Prince Humperdinck : You truly love each other? Then you might have been truly happy!
No couple in a century has that chance, no matter what the storybooks say. Westley : [ Writhes and howls ]. Inigo Montoya : Fezzik, do you hear that? My heart made that sound when Count Rugen killed my father. The Man in Black makes it now. Inigo Montoya : His true love is marry Prince Humperdinck tonight, so who else has cause for ultimate suffering? Inigo Montoya : Where is the Man in Black? Inigo Montoya : Fezzik, jog his memory. Fezzik : [ Fezzik strikes the Albino so hard it knocks him out ] Sorry, Inigo.
I didn't mean to jog him so hard. Inigo Montoya : Hello there. Slow going? Man in Black : Look, I don't mean to be rude but this is not as easy as it looks, so I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't distract me. Inigo Montoya : [ apologetic ] Sorry. Vizzini : We'll head straight for the Guilder frontier. You catch up with us there. If he falls, fine. If not, the sword. Inigo Montoya : I'm going to duel him left-handed. Vizzini : You know what a hurry we're in! Inigo Montoya : Well, is only way I can be satisfied.
If I use my right Vizzini : [ exasperated ] Oh, have it your way. Buttercup : You mocked me once, never do it again! I died that day! Grandpa : And as they reached for each other Grandpa : Ah, it's kissing again. You don't want to hear that. The Grandson : I don't mind so much. Inigo Montoya : There will be blood tonight!
The Queen : Yes. Very strange wedding. Come along. Fezzik : I am the Dread Pirate Roberts! There will be no survivors! Fezzik : My men are here! Fezzik : [ on fire ] The Dread Pirate Roberts takes no survivors! All your worst nightmares are about to come true! Fezzik : Inigo! Where are you? Fezzik : Ah, there you are. Inigo, I saw the Prince's stables, and there they were, four white horses. And I thought, there are four of us, if we ever find the lady.
Fezzik : Hello, lady! So I took them with me, in case we ever bumped into each other. I guess we just did. Inigo Montoya : Fezzik, you did something right. Fezzik : Don't worry. I won't let it go to my head. Valerie : I'm not a witch. I'm your wife! Man in Black : That was a warning, Highness.
Next time my hand flies on its own. Where I come from, there are penalties when a woman lies. The Ancient Booer : Boo. The Ancient Booer : Because you had love in your hands, and you gave it up. Buttercup : But they would have killed Westley if I hadn't done it. The Ancient Booer : Your true love lives. And you marry another. True Love saved her in the Fire Swamp, and she treated it like garbage.
And that's what she is, the Queen of Refuse. So bow down to her if you want, bow to her. The Grandson : They're kissing again. Do we have to read the kissing parts? Inigo Montoya : We'll wait until you are ready. Man in Black : [ sheathes sword ] Again, thank you. Vizzini : I suppose you think you're brave, don't you? Buttercup : Only compared to some. Fezzik : I just figured why you give me so much trouble. Fezzik : Well, I haven't fought one person for so long.
I've been specialised in groups, battling gangs for local charities, that kind of thing. Westley : Why should that make such a. Fezzik : You use different moves when you're fighting half a dozen people, than when you only have to be worried about one. Prince Humperdinck : Please consider me as an alternative to suicide. Inigo Montoya : That's a miracle pill? Valerie : The chocolate coating makes it go down easier.
But you have to wait fifteen minutes for full potency. And you shouldn't go in swimming after, for at least, what? Inigo Montoya : [ drunk ] I do not budge; keep your "ho there". Fezzik : You be careful. People in masks cannot be trusted. Fezzik : He's in the castle with the prince. But the castle gate is guarded by thirty men. Inigo Montoya : How may do you think you could handle? Fezzik : I don't think more than ten.
Buttercup : If you'll release me, whatever you ask for ransom, you'll get it! I promise you. Man in Black : And what is that worth, the promise of a woman? You're very funny, Highness. Count Rugen : You've got an overdeveloped sense of vengeance. It's going to get you into trouble one of these days. Fezzik : [ Inigo puts the miracle pill into Westley's mouth ] How long do we have to wait, before we know the miracle works? Inigo Montoya : You're guess is as good as mine.
Westley : [ Opens his eyes ] I'll beat you both apart! I'll take you both together! Fezzik : [ Promptly covers Westley's mouth ] I guess not very long. Westley : But how will you capture us? We know the Secrets of the Fire Swamp. We can live there quite happily for some time, so if you ever feel like dying, please pay us a visit. Westley : [ to Buttercup as they run towards the Fire Swamp ] Ha, your pig fiance is too late!
The Impressive Clergyman : Mawwige is whut bwings us togevveh today. The Impressive Clergyman : Wike a dweam wifin a dweam. The Impressive Clergyman : Wuv too wuv will fowwow you forwever so tweasure your wuv.
The Impressive Clergyman : Pwincess Butuhcup Buttercup : It did! This old man said "Man and Wife". Buttercup : No, we sort of skipped that part.
If you didn't say it, you didn't do it. Wouldn't you agree, your Highness? Buttercup : I thought you were dead once and it almost killed me. I could not bear it if you died again, not when I could save you. Count Rugen : Come, Sir, we must get you to your Ship.
Westley : We are men of Action, Lies do not become us. Count Rugen : Well spoken, Sir What is it, what's wrong? Westley : You have six fingers on your right hand! Someone was looking for you. Count Rugen : Kill the giant and the dark one, leave the third for questioning.
The Assistant Brute : Almost. There's a Spaniard giving us some trouble. Yellin : Well, you give HIM some trouble. Inigo Montoya : Find the man in black obviously. Fezzik : But don't you know where he is. Inigo Montoya : Don't bother me with trifles. After 20 years, at last my father's soul will be at peace. There will be blood tonight! Prince Humperdinck : [ blooper reel ] "My people! A month from now I've forgotten my line! Buttercup : I will never love again.
Vizzini : Do you know what that sound is, Highness? Those are the shrieking eels! If you don't believe me, just wait. They always grow louder when they're about to feed on human flesh! If you swim back now I promise no harm will come to you I doubt you'll get such an offer from the eels. Grandpa : In my day, television was called 'a book. Prince Humperdinck : Someone has beaten a Giant. There will be much suffering in Guilder if she dies. Vizzini : You were supposed to be this Colossus.
You were this great legendary thing, and yet he gains! Fezzik : Well I'm carrying three people, and he got only himself. Vizzini : I will not accept excuses I'm just going to have to find myself a new Giant, that's all. Fezzik : Don't say that, Vezzini, please. Prince Humperdinck : My father's final words were The Grandson : [ interrupting ] Hold it! Hold it, Grandpa! Miracle Max : I'd rather eat lint! Prince Humperdink's men are slowly backing away in horror ].
Fezzik : I am the Dread Pirate Roberts. There will be no survivors. Inigo Montoya : [ strained ] Now? Fezzik : [ to the soldiers; in a very intimidating voice ] My men are here. I am here. Inigo Montoya : [ very strained ] Now? The giant, intimidating form of the cloaked Fezzik becomes a burning phantom-like image. The soldiers stand in front of the castle gate, stiff with horror as the gargantuan inferno slowly advances towards them ].
Fezzik : The Dread Pirate Roberts spares no survivor. All your worst nightmares, are about to come true! Buttercup : [ At the end of a long tumble down a hill ] Oot! The Grandson : Oh, no. No, please. Grandpa : What is it?
What's the matter? Do we have to hear the kissing part? Grandpa : Someday, you might not mind so much. Inigo Montoya : [ falls to his knees ] Kill me quickly. Man in Black : I would sooner destroy a stained glass window than an artist like yourself.
