Product Description
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.

Can be a Fun game for Adults too~ October 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I first picked up this game because the artwork of the cards seem nice but to my surprise, it's a fun little game that requires a little elementary math skills and luck. My ex-boyfriend and I enjoyed playing a round of Sleeping Queen right before bedtime after a stressful day.
It is simple and perfect for a couple to play but it can definitely become playfully competitive to steal the Sleeping Queens from each other!
This is soooo much fun! September 15, 2008
I play this with both my 9-year-old granddaughter and 3 1/2 year old grandson ... and we all love it! We will definitely look into other games made by GamesWright!
Fantastic card game August 25, 2008
I bought this based on the recommendation of a friend. The kids (9yo boy and 7yo girl) and I love it. It was super easy for them to learn to play. And they've requested to play it everyday since we bought it. I love card games because they're portable (great for waiting for food to come at a restaurant) and this is a fun one to play. I'm inclined to buy several more of these card games.
great game July 24, 2008
This is a great game. My 5 year old loves it as does my 3 year old(with a little help from mom). As an added bonus they get to practice their math skills. The cards are colorful and really creative. Lots of friends will be receiving this for birthday gifts!
Really fun game - the five year old can play it easily June 30, 2008
We've been playing this game as a family with my five year old niece since she was only *four* years old.
She can play her own hand, and often she wins against the grown-ups! (We don't let her win. There's no point.)
She does need a little help in adding her cards to discard them, and we play that it's five queens to win, no matter what (even if you have the required 50 points, you still need the right number of queens), but otherwise she totally manages her own game.
Her little sister (two and a half years) can totally play a game too... if she has a grown-up (or sometimes her big sister) to help her put distinguish the various power cards. I have no doubt that she, too, will be managing her own hand when she's four... or even three, she's catching up fast.
We've also played this game with just adults a few times, it's really pretty fun and very fast.
