About the game
Picture this: the Prince is desperately searching for Cinderella, but he has one tiny problem... he doesn't actually remember what she looks like! In Too Many Cinderellas, you aren't the protagonist, but rather one of those influential, well-connected people who has decided that the real Cinderella is actually their own servant. Your goal is simple yet chaotic: you must manipulate the rules and influence the Prince to point toward your candidate.

The game plays out through quick rounds of deduction and voting. Each player receives a set of cards that establish the conditions for who the 'true' Cinderella is for that round. The real spice here is the interaction: as players lay down cards to set new rules (such as 'Cinderella has small feet' or 'Cinderella wears a blue dress'), everyone else secretly votes on whether to accept or reject that new rule. If someone tries to spread misinformation that doesn't favor you, you can simply shout a loud 'NO!' to the Prince!

After two rounds of card play and voting, everyone reveals their hands. Whoever holds the card that perfectly matches all the rules established during that round wins the round. It's a game of bluffing, reading the table, and, of course, plenty of diplomatic chaos. It's perfect for those looking for something fast, light, and full of laughs while you try to trick your friends into choosing your candidate for the throne!
