Among the loot brought to The Kid by Santa Claus this year is a Disney edition of the card game Uno. Your Humble Narrator suffered several ignominious defeats this past weekend.
Here’s the problem: Most of the cards feature one or another of the various Disney Princesses—Snow White, Belle, Jasmine—but occasionally one’s opponent plays…
Monster-of-the-Week: …a Dragon Card, depicting this week’s honoree, the dragon from 1959’s Sleeping Beauty. Confronted with this beast, one must discard, or draw from the deck until one finds, a card depicting a Princess in the clinch with her designated Prince, such cards being called “Dragonslayers.”
Now, this strikes me as suggesting to the young players that you need a man around for whatever dragon shows up in your life, that you’re powerless to pick up a sword & slay the freakin' dragon yourself. Doesn’t it? Or am I just being excruciatingly politically correct?
