What was this board game from the 90s?

When we were younger, my sister owned this fatasy-type board game that I remembered being pretty fun…when I was 10. At any rate, I’ve been trying to remember its name and was hoping someone here could help me. I don’t remember much about it, except that you had to go around and win mini-games to collect jewels, I think. Once you had all four (?), you could attempt to win the game (I think you were saving a princess?)

Here’s everything I can remember:

[ul]
[li]Released in mid-late 90s[/li][li]Fantasy-based.[/li][li]The board itself was flat, but there were several small plastic ‘structures’ you placed on top of it.[/li][li]Said structures were each a self-contained game where you could win something (a jewel, I think)?[/li][li]One of the structures was a plastic cave opening, where the game had you spin a dial to reveal the picture of a diamond.[/li][/ul]

I’ll add details if I can think of anymore.

Uh, was it Pretty Pretty Princess?

Do you rememeber the mechanics (roll and move?)
I tried boardgamegeek but 1993-2000 fantasy gets too many results.

Talisman?

Moved to The Game Room from Cafe Society.

Was it HeroQuest?

Fireball Island ?

Forbidden Bridge?

MadCap Marathon?

Mystery Mansion?

Dragon Strike?

So… did we get any hits?

With the OP’s permission I can post on boardgamegeek, there is likely someoene ther that can ID it.

Sadly, no.

Sure, go nuts :slight_smile:

Could it be Mattel’s Barbie Princess and the Pauper board game? I don’t know when it was released, but it meets at least some of your criteria.

As far as I know, it wasn’t based on an existing IP and wasn’t completely girlish :stuck_out_tongue:

Tales of the Crystals?

Best guess on the geek is The White Unicorn -

That’s it! Okay, so I was a bit off with the ‘saving princess’ thing and totally forgot it contained a unicorn. Anyway, I’m pretty impressed they figured it out based on that!

Thanks for posting that over there! I can now sleep easy knowing the name for this board game.

Here is a geeklist of identifications (opening to page 4, where this one was added)
