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's 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!
ADROABLE CARD GAME FOR KIDS AND FAMILIES: In this simple card game you play cards to wake up the sleeping queens. Discard cards or draw new ones, play actions and wake up 5 queens – or score the most points, to win!
STRATEGY, QUICK THINKING AND LUCK: Rouse the napping queens by playing Knight cards, or Jesters. Wake the most queens to win!
KID INVENTED: Sleeping Queen was created by a 6-year-old and was based on a dream she had!
LEARN CREATIVITY, IMAGINATION AND MATH! Kids learn to use their imagination and some math in this fun card game!
FAST AND FUN: Plays in 20 minutes!

Title: Great game for 4-8 yr olds and adults
Review: This is the third copy of this game I purchased. My granddaughters and I have been playing this game for a couple years and it’s one of our favorites. The rules are fairly simple with a few twists to keep it interesting. There is a little “take that” when someone tries to steal the awakened queen of another player. My grandkids like that. Cards have values in multiples of 5 so the scoring addition is easy. We usually play until someone scores 40 points and wins the game, but there are several end conditions you can use. Younger kids may need help making addition equations to get rid of their number cards so they can hopefully draw a better hand. We played this on teams when the kids were younger. Now they are 7 and 8 and don’t need any help. They remember all the rules (the same player can’t have both the Cat Queen and Dog Queen in their area because those two fight like cats and dogs - cute!). The extra copies I purchased are to gift. Highly recommend this game and the Gamewright brand for families in general for fun, simple, but not too dull for adults games.

Title: Really fun card game
Review: We really enjoyed playing this with our 8 year old. Rules are fairly simple but fun and the illustrations on the cards are awesome. It's just a refreshing game to play after some of the other inane games that exist.It says recommended for 8+ and I would agree. Part of the rules is you can discard an equation and draw the same number of cards as parts of the equation. Like 3+4=7 would let you draw 3 cards. If you have younger children they can play too.. just skip that rule.

Title: Sweetest game for 1st grade+
Review: My daughter played this game at a friends house and loved it! She came home talking about how to play? All the queens she had won and how she couldn’t wait to play with me.After purchasing, we’ve played this game so many times! It’s easy to learn, durable pieces/cards, the cardboard storage box keeps the cards in place, secure and prevents them from bending.A sweet and fun game to play with ages 6 and up!

Title: Creative fun while learning
Review: My eight year old granddaughter and I are addicted to this game. We love its mild complexity, the focus on easy math and the fact that a game can be played in 10 to 15 minutes. I have come back to buy another game from Gamewright,

Title: Great for all the kids
Review: I wanted a game for my younger kids to be able to play since they can't always play the more complicated games the older ones enjoy. This is game is perfect because the little ones like it and the older ones aren't bored with it. I'm happy because there aren't that many games all of them can play. But this one they can.

Review: This game is a blast! The instructions are simple, so kids pick it up really quickly, but it’s still fun for adults too. The gameplay is always different, which keeps it interesting for everyone. It’s perfect for family game nights, and the small deck size makes it super easy to bring on trips. My kids can’t get enough of it, and it keeps them entertained for hours. Definitely recommend for any family!

Review: Mi familia es mas de videojuegos que de juegos de mesa, lo mas que conociamos era la Loteria Mexicana y el UNO, este juego lo compre por que estaba en oferta y queria intentar algun juego para jugar todos en familia por las noches.Nos la pasamos minimo 1 hora jugando este juego y es super divertido estar despertando a las reinas, las reglas son muy faciles y no ocupas Ingles ya que todo es visual. Se hacen unos piques en el juego muy divertidos por robarle o dormirle la reina a otro jugador.Lo que si las reglas default se nos hicieron un poco pasivas asi que decidimos hacerlo mas agresivas(en mi familia nos gusta vengarnos jeje ). En el original solo el Caballero Roba Reinas y el Dragon Defiende, lo cambiamos a que los dos pueden robar y se anulan mutuamente, Al igual que con las Pociones y las Varitas, las dos pueden dormir y una anula a la otro, El Buffon sirve como Comodin para cambiar todas las cartas de Numero de tu mano. Con esos cambios quedo super agresivo y divertido.Calificacion: 10 Excelente.

Review: Love the idea of the game and that it was invented by a family and I must say the game is very engaging for kids aged 7-8. The graphics are beautiful, too. Only disappointed in the quality of the cards, which are too thin and slippery and although we’ve only played about 20 times, they already look worn out on the edges.
