Sleeping Queens

For 2-5 players, ages 8+, playing time is around 20 minutes.

Rise and shine! The Pancake Queen, the Ladybug Queen and ten of their closest friends have fallen asleep 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. But watch out for the wicked potions and dastardly dragons!
