Sleeping Queens 2: The Rescue! (2022)

About this game

In Sleeping Queens 2: The Rescue!, the Pancake Queen, the Ladybug Queen, and their friends return with some new characters and a new mission: Save the kings! Play queens to rescue kings from a parade of perilous predicaments. Find a magical companion to aid your quest, but watch out for Wild Gnomes, Sleeping Willows, and the ever-sneaky Switch Witch! Each player has a knight in front of themselves with a special power, but don't get too attached because if anyone rolls a dragon on the die, all the knights move left. Save the most kings and crown yourself the royal hero! —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
