Cinderella

Originally published in 1923, this is one of six "S&E Games" titles by Stoll & Edwards. It is a simple spin-and-move race through the episodes of Charles Perrault's authored version of Cinderella (1697): Cinderella having to watch her stepsisters go to the ball, her fairy Godmother appearing, the three nights of the ball, and so on. The board is laid out in a spiral with many spaces including elements of the story, but only some of them instructing players to advance or move back a few spaces or lose turns. One space asks players to draw a random "magic leaf" and do what it says. The board is 16" square and printed in just three colors (black, red, and blue).

Under the original "Game of Cinderella" title, it was reprinted along with its five sibling games in 1928, as part of Stoll & Edwards' "Two-Games-in-One" series. These featured a two-sided board with the race game on one side and a checkerboard (for chess or checkers) on the other. Implements and rules were included for one game along with "a full set of checker men" (as a Stoll & Edwards catalog put it) for the other.

A decade later, in their next incarnation as Stoll & Einson, the publisher reissued the game as "Cinderella" under their Playjoy brand. The single-sided board of this edition was slightly bigger than the original, with redrawn art utilizing a wider variety of colors.

In each edition, the game included a cardboard "indicator" (spinner) and 12 red magic leaf cards (which look a lot like hearts). The 1923 edition included colored wooden discs as player tokens, while the 1928 and 1934 editions used turned wooden pawns.
