Review: Damaged product - Had ordered this game but the package and the in-game items were damaged. The box is also torn out from the edges.
Review: Princes is one of the best board games on the market. It is a positively stunning 4- or 5-player game in terms of balance, playability, and durability. The components are beautiful and well-made. The game mechanics are almost unique. The game is one of scarcity--players must carefully plan resources and actions, as there are limits on both. Over the course of the game, each player can buy 7 critical resources at auction, with no second chances, and can take 14 actions. It's easy to take a wrong step. The game has proved very popular in strategy gaming circles because of the limited reliance on chance (although the game is card-driven), and the excellent game balance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***E on 24 October 2014*

I really like this game so far. It has an auction theme combined with a money & time management theme. Each turn is divided into two phases in which you first bid on a certain set of items and then you may purchase other items at a fixed price and/or play cards. It is relatively quick as it has a fixed seven turns each game. I would advise anyone playing for the first time, however, to carefully read over the rules before playing and at setup. I had read the rules and had a basic understanding of the game, but kind of rushed the setup the first time I played and ended up missing a couple of really important aspects of the game, which made it seem much less fun than it actually is. Also, this game comes with an expansion. I have yet to try out the expansion, but it is a nice bonus, as there is no mention of the expansion in the description.
