Sleeping Queens
Parents’ Choice Recommended Imagine a place where there’s a queen of all pancakes, a king of cookies and a pack of over-protective dragons? If this sounds like something out of a dream, it actually is! Sleeping Queens was invented by 6-year-old Miranda Evarts, who thought up the game one night when she couldn’t fall asleep. She awoke the next morning and with help from her older sister, Madeleine and her parents, Denise and Max created this wonderfully whimsical world of napping nobles. As you immerse yourself in the Evarts’ fantasyland, you will find a game that helps develop memory, strategy, and elementary arithmetic skills. Just be careful when playing potion cards or you could wind up putting all the players to sleep! Rise and Shine! The Pancake Queen, the Ladybug Queen and ten of their closest friends have fallen under a sleeping spell and it’s your job to wake them up. Use strategy, quick thinking and a little luck to rouse these napping nobles from their royal slumbers. Play a knight to steal a queen or take a chance on a juggling jester. But watch out for wicked potions and dastardly dragons! The player who wakes the most queens wins.

4 Stars A good, quick card game
My daughter got this for her birthday last year, and it has become one of her favorites. We like to play this as a family, and it can be helpful in teaching kids to count by 5’s. There is also some strategy involved in stealing queens, which queens to steal, and why. An enjoyable game overall.
5 Stars Great Game
This game is great! Don’t let the age recommendation fool you. My six and a half year old is learning equations, game strategy and having great fun! She and friends (and our five yr old) are addicted to it. Fun for the whole family. Pleased parents
5 Stars Another hit from Gamewright
We love this game. My 6.5 year old son and I can’t get enough!! I just wished it included higher number cards so that we can use more multiplication. Very creative, fun, challenging and educational.
5 Stars fun for all ages
We’ve had this card game for years and always enjoy playing it. It was easy to learn and individual hands of the game can be played in around 10 min. so it’s great for short attention spans. We just bought the game again to give to a friend (age 12) of my daughter’s who loves playing it when she’s at our house.
3 Stars Cute Card game…but boring after few times
Honestly, this is not a game for adult. Kids will definitely love it, but if you are a grown up…you can not enjoy this game after playing more than 5 times. I personally like the illustration and concept behind the game.But wish it has some more strategy rather than just picking up cards and play for win if you have got action cards at right time. I don’t like the concept of having number cards without much impact on the play, other than deciding how many cards you will pick up. Still I recommend this game for kids. Its immense fun for them and without complex rules they can easily play this game.
