My Kingdom for the Princess

My latest casual game obsession has been My Kingdom for the Princess. This week I finally finished the game and completed my castle.

If you finish each level before nightfall, you expand your castle. Some levels it’s harder to achieve this than others. In the game, you begin with one worker who must clear a path through the terrain for the Princess’s carriage. You have three resources - wood, food, and gold. Each task requires either one or two resources. Some levels have buildings that generate resources like sawmills, farms, and mines. Some levels also have warehouses that allow you to keep more resources at one time and adds to the total of resources that you collect. You can also upgrade your homestead to add more workers.

Before beginning each level, you can survey the board to see just what you will need. If you will need a lot of wood in the beginning, then it’s best to build and upgrade your sawmill as soon as possible.

Now that I’ve finished my castle, I may play through the game again just to try to beat my best times on each level. My Kingdom for the Princess reminds me of Settlers of Catan. It is probably because of the resource management aspect of the game. My Kingdom for the Princess was very entertaining and one of those rare games I actually finished. It also has replay value if nothing else to beat your own personal time or that of your friends.

My Kingdom for the Princess was a nice break from my Facebook games and also a game that everyone in the house really enjoyed, too.
