Sleeping Queens

Editorial Review:

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.

It's fun, but only if you're a certain kind of person.:

What I mean by that is that some people will look at this game and consider it the stupidest thing ever. Others, such as myself, will love it. I think the crazier you are, the more you will enjoy it. It only gets a 3 star duribility rating because the cards don't stay in mint condition very long, but they'll still be playable.
Game play is relatively simple after you learn it. It's kind of tricky at first to remember what each card does, but after a few games you'll get it. The object is to collect... more info

As young as 4-5 yo can play:

A fun game for both kids and adults. A child as young as 4 can play. We're still playing with my son and he's now 8. For added educational purposes, we allow him to do any mathematical combination to discard cards.

Excellent game for kids of all ages!:

My kids received this game for Christmas two years ago, and it's still a family favorite. At the time they were 6 and 3. It's been a great tool to reinforce math facts. The game requires matching, building simple equations with totals of no more than ten, and logic. It's a game the entire family enjoys. It's going to be a gift we give to many of the kids' friends this year. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a quick game that contains hidden (from the kids) educational components.

Can be a Fun game for Adults too~:

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!
