The Princess Bride sells for $20, and will ship June 30th.

Episode one, As You Wish, revolved around time and click management, while the second episode, Battle of Wits, is billed as an "Inconceivable Trivia Challenge". Episode three, The Fire Swamp, is a teamwork-based puzzle platformer, while players help to mix potions and find hidden items in episode four, Miracle Max. Lastly, Episode 5 has players collect and assemble an inventory in Storming the Castle.
