We narrowed down the list based on a variety of factors, but accidentally left out Miranda's favorite queen from the original 12 - The Strawberry Queen. Why the Strawberry Queen? Well, the story goes that when we first produced Sleeping Queens we asked 8-year-old game inventor Miranda Evarts and family to brainstorm a long list of queens for us to choose from. Even better, it is a fun game that has educational value (addition) as opposed to educational games that try to be fun, but dont usually achieve it. Its quick and very replayable, our kids ask for it nearly every night. We're proud to introduce this deluxe anniversary version of Sleeping Queens, or as we've affectionately dubbed it, the 'Strawberry Queen' edition. Sleeping Queens is one of our favorite games weve played as a family. Deluxe anniversary edition includes new queens and kings, plus sticker sheets, all in a collectible tin. But watch out for wicked potions and dastardly dragons! The player who wakes the most queens wins.
Play a knight to steal a queen or take a chance on a juggling jester. Use strategy, quick thinking and a little luck to rouse these napping nobles from their royal slumbers. I’ve written about Sleeping Queens on Dad Suggests 4 times in the past - and all 4 times it was a game list like the best stocking stuffers or the best family card games.But Sleeping Queens has never been given its own featured Game of the Month article before, and that’s a travesty I’d like to rectify today.
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.
