Players help the Little Prince protect his planet from Baobab Tree saplings, which, if they grow into full trees, will destroy the Little Prince's planetoid.

There are two to four players in this game. The winner is the player who helped The Little Prince Protect his planet the most. Each player gets an equal number of "Star" Tokens to play on the Little Prince Star/Bird Sheet. The goal is for a player to have the least amount of Star Tokens left in their possession.

In the game box are flowers and baobabs cards. The roots are shown, and must be pulled out to reveal whether the saplings are baobabs or flowers.

The game involves rolling a six sided die with four images corresponding to four sides of the game box. The images on the die are the Little Prince's three volcanoes and his Rose (x3).

Rolling a Rose: If a player rolls a Rose, he or she must turn the box so that the rose side of the game box faces them. They must pick up any root (in the box) with the cardboard tweezers and if it is a flower, they add their Star Token to The Little Prince Star/Bird Sheet and leave the flower face up. If incorrect and a Baobab was picked up, they must put the baobab root side up back into the box, and add a “bird” Token to the Little Prince Star/Bird Sheet.

Rolling a Volcano: If a player rolls a Volcano, he or she must turn the box so that the exact Volcano image side of the game box faces them that corresponds to the die image. They must pick up any root (in the box) with the cardboard tweezers and if it is a Baobab, they place their Star Token on the Little Prince Star/Bird Sheet and remove the Baobab from the box planet. If incorrect and a Flower was picked up, they must put the Flower root side up back into the box, and add a “bird” Token to the Little Prince Star/Bird Sheet.

The game ends when either all bird tokens are placed in their allocated spot on the Little Prince Star/Bird Sheet, all flowers are face up on the planet, or all Baobabs are pulled out from the planet. The player with the least amount of Star wins because they have helped The Little Prince the most.

Die Spieler helfen dem Kleinen Prinzen, seinen Planeten vor Sprösslingen von Affenbrotbäumen, die so groß werden, dass sie den Planeten zerstören können, zu beschützen.
