sleeping beauty to awaken her, and win the game.
P
rinces
must be played with
L
adies
or with
B
ohnanza
. Players are expected to know the rules of these games to
play
P
rinces
.
Using all the cards from
L
adies
(if
B
ohnanza
is
used, remove the Coffee, Wax, and Cocoa beans)
and follow the
L
adies
rules to begin the
preparation for
P
rinces
. When playing
with six players
, use the same rules as for
five and remove 8 Vine task cards (randomly)
from the game. When playing with
L
adies
,
use the 3rd bean field cards included with this
expansion (they are not needed when playing
with
B
ohnanza
). Separate the Castle card from
the Vine task cards. Shuffle the Vine task cards
and place them face down as a supply in the
middle of the table. Place the Castle card face
down under the stack of Vine task cards. Draw the top 4 Vine task cards and place them face up in a row next to
the stack in the order drawn. Each player selects a bean figure and places his figure next to the first Vine task card
(see illustration). Place unused figures and cards back in the box.

The game play of
P
rinces
has the same four well-known phases and the corresponding actions as in
L
adies
or
B
ohnanza
. The intermediate phase and the Vine task cards with the tasks which the players must fulfill are new.
The tasks of the Vine task cards
At any time in the game, regardless of whose turn it is, a player may fulfill a task. A player can fulfill only the
task on the Vine task card where his figure stands. To fulfill a task, the player calls, “Stop!”, and shows the other
players how he completes the task where his figure stands. When a player fulfills a task, he moves his figure
forward to the next Vine task card. If the player has not actually fulfilled the task he claims, his figure remains
where it was.
