About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're a fan of the beloved 'The Little Prince' and enjoy card games that demand sharp reasoning, 'The Journey of the Little Prince' is a title that will capture your imagination. Designed for two players, each participant receives a set of cards representing the asteroids the little traveler visited on his trip to Earth. The goal is to build, in ascending order, a route that allows the Prince to return to his planet by retracing the exact steps he took.
What makes this game stand out is its deduction mechanic: each player has a secret mission to complete, yet cannot see the cards the other is placing. Consequently, part of the strategy involves using your cards to gather clues about your opponent’s intentions. You must decipher your partner’s mission from the choices they make each turn. When you successfully combine the two missions, the route is finished and the Prince can bring his sheep back home.
As a print‑and‑play, all components are cards that can be printed at home, making the game accessible and easy to assemble. Playtime is short, between 10 and 20 minutes, ideal for quick sessions or as a complement to other games. The difficulty is moderate—there’s no luck involved, just logic and observation. It’s a cooperative experience that encourages communication between players, as victory depends on both of you solving the puzzle together.
If you’re looking for something that blends the nostalgia of a classic children's tale with the thrill of a strategic challenge, 'The Journey of the Little Prince' delivers just that. Prepare your deck, line up the cards, and embark on an adventure that only the universe of the Little Prince can offer.
