Sleeping Queens

Sleeping Queens is a delightful card game that has quickly become a favorite in our family. The premise is simple: awaken the sleeping queens by playing cards strategically, using kings, knights, potions, and jesters to your advantage. The gameplay is fast-paced and engaging, with a healthy dose of "take that" elements that add to the fun, especially for the younger players. My kids, ages 7 and 8, love trying to steal each other's queens!

The game is designed for ages 8 and up, but with a little help, even younger children can enjoy it. We started playing with our kids on teams, but now they can handle the rules themselves. The scoring system is straightforward, using multiples of 5, making it easy for kids to add up their points. The game offers several end conditions, providing flexibility for different game lengths and skill levels.

What truly sets Sleeping Queens apart is its charm. The illustrations on the cards are colorful and whimsical, adding to the game's appeal. The unique queen cards, each with a distinctive personality, are a fun touch. Our kids especially love the "Cat Queen" and "Dog Queen" rule, which adds a humorous twist to the game.

Overall, Sleeping Queens is a fantastic game that provides hours of entertainment for families. It's easy to learn, quick to play, and full of strategic depth that keeps adults engaged as well. Highly recommended for families with children aged 6 and up!
