Order Sleeping Queens

We play Sleeping Queens before bedtime almost every night. So many kids games, while entertaining to the kids, are nearly intolerable to the adults. But this is actually entertaining. My daughters, ages 6 and 8, just love it. They sometimes pull out Playmobil or other figures to act it out the waking, stealing, dosing, and defending as we play. Though that takes longer and sometimes they get side tracked. As someone else mentioned, the kids can play it without help.

My one argument is that in the game the knights steal the queens, and the Dragons defend them. It should be the Dragons who are stealing away the queens, and the Knights should rescue the queens from the dragons. That's the way I've always heard the fairy tales, anyway. The first half dozen times we played it we kept getting it wrong. We tried just switching the rules about the cards and doing it the way we wanted, but there are more knights than dragons and it didn't work as well.Get more detail about Sleeping Queens.
